Root Canal Treatment is a form of treatment to remove the nerve from the tooth, which can save the tooth from needing extracting. While it is a long appointment, and many people dread Root Canal Treatment, we use plenty of anaesthetic to ensure minimal discomfort for you, and your dentist will always put your needs first. Once a Root Canal is complete, the tooth has a very high chance of being pain free, but some mild sensitivity can occur afterwards due to the treatment type. Root Canals are finished with a crown or a filling, depending on the size, and may need to be stabilised by a fibre post for added security and structural integrity. Your dentist will discuss all of your needs and the outcomes with you before a Root Canal Treatment takes place to make sure you will be happy with the results.
Dentists prefer to save teeth rather than taking them out, which is why your dentist might have recommended a Root Canal Treatment to you, but people might prefer an Extraction for whatever reason. If you have concerns regarding your teeth and think a Root Canal Treatment might be beneficial to you, please call the practice on 01273731586 so we can book you in with one of our dentist, so they can give you their medical opinion and plan treatment.
