Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?

If the soft pulp underneath your tooth becomes infected and the nerve is irreparably damaged. Then we can perform a root canal.

A root canal starts by removing the infection. As you can see from the diagram below we clean out the affected area. Which is at the top of the tooth and towards the bottom. Once this is done we fill in the tooth so that it is hard and strong. Lastly we cap the space with a crown to prevent further damage. Making the tooth look like all your other ones.

What happens during your root canal treatment

Root canal treatment can take three to four visits, depending on the state of the tooth and the severity of the infection. Sedative dressings and temporary fillings are placed inside your tooth between visits in order to settle the surrounding tissues and destroy any remaining bacteria.

Step 1: Relief of Pain Removal of the infected/damaged nerve from the inside of the tooth. This is done by creating a hole through the crown of the tooth down into the roots. It is in within the roots that the procedure takes place.

Step 2: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped and sterilized to a form that can be completely sealed and prepared to receive a special root canal filling.

Step 3: The final stage is to seal the canals with a special filling material to prevent further infection.

Assure you ring prior your visit to confirm. Travelled a distance at early hours am to get to appointment with 10-15 minutes late they cancelled the extraction and left my spouse with a rather huge unpleasant face :/ not happy at all. Bare in mind the ineradicable traffic to assure you get to your appointment you may have to leave over 2hr ahead of time if travelling distance like ourselves. Happy Friday to some.
