Root Canal Treatment

    Why Might I Need a Root Canal Treatment?

    Root canal treatments are carried out on infected teeth. Teeth can become infected if they are badly decayed or broken down as this allows bacteria to access the central part of the tooth which is called the pulp. The pulp consists of soft tissues including nerves and blood vessels that extend right into the roots of the teeth.

    A root canal treatment eliminates the bacteria causing the infection, relieving pain and discomfort and saving the tooth so it can be fully restored with a filling or crown. The only alternative to a root canal treatment is tooth extraction.

    What are the Symptoms of an Infected Tooth?

    The most commons symptom is pain; the tooth may throb or will feel painful if you bite or chew. The gum around the tooth may look swollen or red and you could have an unpleasant taste in your mouth. A pimple might form on the gum near to the tooth as the infection builds up. It is important to get any dental pain diagnosed as soon as possible as this will prevent the bacterial infection from spreading and potentially affecting your general health, and we are more likely to be able to save the tooth.

    What is the Procedure for a Root Canal Treatment?

    The procedure is very straightforward and should be no worse than a filling. Your tooth will be numbed before the dentist accesses the pulp through the crown of the tooth. They will remove all the tissues in the pulp and in the root canals that extend into the tooth roots before sealing up the tooth. The tooth will be permanently restored as soon as your dentist is sure all the infection has been eliminated. Once the tooth is fully restored it can be used normally and should last for many years or hopefully for life.
