Root Canal Treatment

Infected and damaged teeth can be problematic in the sense that they don’t always let you know there’s something wrong, until symptoms become very advanced. This is why routine dentist appointments are really important.

It’s also paramount that you book an appointment with us if you have any of the following symptoms, as they could indicate the need for root canal treatment:

• Increased tooth sensitivity that remains for long periods after eating hot and cold food and drink.
• Spontaneous pain which originates from a specific tooth or region of the mouth.
• Grey shade to your tooth.
• Unpleasant taste in your mouth.
• Changes to your bite.

It’s a common misconception that root canal treatment is painful. Thanks to the ongoing research into root canal treatment, it’s no longer the daunting treatment it used to be 20 years ago. You should not experience discomfort throughout the procedure, as it is carried out under local anaesthetic.

When a tooth reaches the point where a root canal is required, this is because a simple procedure such as a filling will not suffice and the nerve needs treatment to prevent the risk of an abscess and other complications resulting in a higher risk of extraction. Failing to have a root canal when your dentist recommends it, or not coming along to your routine dentist appointments will make a tooth extraction far more likely. As we mentioned above, routine dental appointments are the best way to make sure decay doesn’t become severe enough to warrant root canal treatment.
