ROOT CANAL TREATMENT / ENDODONTICS

Endodontics – treating tooth pain and root canal treatment

Endodontics, commonly referred to as root canal treatment, is the branch of dentistry that looks after the health of the inside of the teeth, particularly the soft tissue or ‘pulp’ that keeps teeth healthy and strong.

By offering you a root canal, we can remove infected soft tissue, save teeth that have been damaged by decay, disease and injury, and stop the chance of further deterioration.

FAQs

LET’S TALK ABOUT ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

HOW CAN I TELL IF I HAVE AN INFECTION?

Symptoms of a tooth infection can include persistent pain, pain when biting, lingering pain when consuming hot or cold foods and drinks, swelling, and a slight darkening of the tooth itself. If you’ve been suffering from toothache, think you might have a tooth infection or have been told that you need a tooth removed, then you could need root canal treatment.


WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES TO ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

Tooth extraction can be offered as an alternative to root canal treatment. However, this will leave you with a gap, which can cause pressure on remaining teeth and look unsightly. You could replace the extracted tooth with an implant, bridge or denture. However, this can cause damage to other healthy teeth. Whenever possible, we will always try to save a natural tooth via root canal treatment, as it will function better than an artificial tooth.


WILL IT HURT AFTERWARDS?

In most cases, your tooth will feel tender for around 48 hours after your treatment. This can usually be managed with paracetamol or ibuprofen and will subside. If your tooth still feels very painful after three days, please contact us.

WHAT CAUSES TOOTH INFECTIONS?

Tooth infections usually occur when the soft tissue inside your teeth dies. This can happen for a range of reasons, from decay, tooth trauma, severe gum disease or a crack forming in your tooth. Leaving an infected tooth untreated, is likely to cause an increase in both pain and sensitivity, and the longer you wait, the harder it will become to save the tooth.


HOW PAINFUL IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

Root canals are completed under local anaesthetic and carried out by our highly skilled root canal dentist. It is not painful, and feels similar to having a filling. Depending on the tooth, it can take one or two hour-long appointments to complete a root canal, and the tooth will be crowned to prevent further infection.


HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY TEETH AFTER MY ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

In most cases, it is possible to prevent further infections by keeping your teeth clean, limiting the amount of sugary food you consume and avoiding smoking.
