Experience gentle dental care.
The inside of a tooth, known as the ‘pulp,’ consists of nerves, blood vessels, and other soft tissues. When the pulp or nerve gets infected because of decay, cavity, or tooth damage, it can cause pain and swelling.
It’s important not to ignore the signs of pulp infection. This infection can spread to your gums and jaw, seriously impacting your health. A root canal treatment can prevent this infection from spreading, saving your tooth from extraction.
What To Expect When Having A Root Canal Treatment
Our dentists can provide you with bespoke care and various pain relief options. So, having a root canal with our caring dentists is nothing to worry about.
A root canal treatment is completed over two to three appointments. The treatment may look different from one patient to another. But generally, this is what you can expect when having a root canal done at our practice:
- We will begin by numbing your tooth and the surrounding area. This means you can relax while having your root canal treatment done in comfort.
- The infected area will be cleaned, and the decay removed.
- The next step is to shape and seal your tooth. This restores it to its original appearance and function and prevents further infection.
- For best results, some root canal treatments need to be completed with the fitting of a crown. Our dentists may recommend this treatment path if your tooth has significant levels of decay present.
