Understanding Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, involves removing infected or inflamed pulp from the inside of your tooth. This procedure can prevent the loss of your tooth and alleviate pain or infection, restoring the tooth’s function.

Root Canal Treatment Process:

  1. Assessment: Initial examination to diagnose the condition of the tooth and the extent of the infection.
  2. Access Opening: A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
  3. Pulp Removal: Infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned.
  4. Filling the Canals: Canals are filled with a permanent material to prevent bacteria from re-entering.
  5. Sealing the Tooth: The opening is sealed with a filling, and if necessary, a post is inserted for additional stability.
  6. Restoration: A new crown is often placed to restore the tooth’s shape, appearance, and function.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal:

  • Persistent pain or sensitivity to heat or cold
  • Discoloration of the tooth
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  • A bad taste in the mouth or prolonged bad breath

Aftercare and Recovery:

  • The tooth may be tender for a few days post-treatment, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
  • We recommend avoiding chewing on the affected side until the treatment is fully completed and the crown is placed.
  • Regular follow-ups and good oral hygiene can extend the life of your treated tooth.

Cost of Root Canal Treatment:

  • Our fees for root canal treatment start from £450, varying based on the complexity of the case and the specific needs of the patient.

FAQs for Root Canal Treatment

What is a root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth (the root canal system). It involves the removal of the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and then filling and sealing it to protect against further damage.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Modern root canal treatments are typically painless as they are performed under local anaesthesia. Any post-treatment discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

How long does a root canal treatment last?

With proper care and good oral hygiene, a tooth that has had a root canal treatment can last a lifetime. It’s important to follow up with regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
