Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment in Staines

What is root canal treatment?

When the nerves of your root become infected, you may require a root canal treatment to restore your tooth to full functionality.

It is important to promptly treat a dental nerve infection to avoid complications or even tooth extraction.

A root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy recommended to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp and nerves. This can occur when decay or an injury reaches deep into the tooth, past the strong outer enamel layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is root canal treatment, and why is it needed?

Root canal treatment is a procedure to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, clean the root canals, and seal them to prevent further infection. It’s needed when the pulp is inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Modern root canal treatment is virtually pain-free. With local anesthesia and advanced techniques, the procedure feels similar to having a filling placed. Any discomfort you may feel afterward can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

How long does a root canal-treated tooth last?

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and protecting the tooth with a crown when necessary are key to its longevity.
