One of the ways we can prevent the loss of a tooth is with root canal treatment. The treatment is usually pain free and involves the removal of the pulp tissues from the centre of your tooth in the event that this becomes infected or inflamed. The treated tooth can function normally and be maintained with routine dental care and proper oral hygiene.
Our team of endodontists are all registered with the General Dental Council (GDC) and our practice is regulated and monitored by the Care Quality Commission so you can rest asssured you're in safe hands here with us.

Infected tooth
Opening made in tooth

Signs of pulp damage may include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling, tenderness of the overlying gums or a bad taste in the mouth.
On the other hand, there may be no symptoms at all. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can eventually cause pain, swelling and loss of the supporting bone.

After your treatment, the tooth may be sensitive or tender for a few days due to inflammation of the surrounding tissues. Taking over-the-counter painkillers can relieve this discomfort. However, if the pain persists and is severe, or a swelling occurs, you should contact us immediately.
Our latest Beckenham dentist reviews on Google
"I've been going to Orchard House practice for many years now and have always had the best and most professional dentist care from Mr Huntley-Taylor and the rest of the team. I've moved house on a few occasions since my first visit but I have not moved dentists. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else despite the journey to get there."
a) When the nerve and blood vessels in the tooth (dental pulp) are inflamed and degenerated. This is usually accompanied by pain.
b) If the dental pulp degenerates completely, the root canals can become infected, leading to formation of an abscess, with or without discomfort on bite.
Tooth decay, cracks, large fillings, trauma or even tooth wear can sometimes cause irreversible damage to the dental pulp.
A routine root canal treatment can take between 1.5 and 2 hours.
The success rate for root canal treatment is 80% - 95%. The success depends on firstly being able to access the canals and secondly on the ability to disinfect the entire length of the root canals. In some cases this is not possible due to the extent of the infection, technical difficulties and complications. Provided the tooth is subsequently restored, it should last for many years.
