Endodontics expertise that delivers brilliant results
If it emerges during a dental examination that the tissues inside one of your teeth are infected, your dentist is likely to recommend root canal treatment. This can help save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. It can also relieve associated pain and discomfort, and has a high success rate.
The treatment involves infected pulp and bacteria being removed from the internal canals of the tooth. This is followed by cleaning, disinfection, and the insertion of a root filling material before the tooth is then sealed. A crown can later be placed on top of the tooth to strengthen and protect it.
Benefits of root canal treatment
- Relieves pain caused by infection or inflammation
- Preserves the natural tooth
- Stops the spread of infection
- Restores biting and chewing ability
- Allows for a crown or filling to be placed
- Often cheaper than extraction and replacement
Root canal treatment FAQs
The typical lifespan of a root-treated tooth is around eight to 10 years. This is the case for approximately nine in every 10 teeth that receive this treatment.
It is frequently recommended that a crown be fitted after root canal surgery. This, along with proper oral hygiene, can help maximise the longevity of a root-treated tooth.
If a given tooth has damaged, diseased, or dead pulp, but is otherwise viable to the mouth, a dentist is likely to recommend root canal treatment.
By contrast, having a tooth extracted and replaced can be a more complicated and expensive process. However, extraction may be the only option for a tooth that is severely damaged or fractured beyond repair.
The use of a local anaesthetic is typical for this form of endodontic treatment. This means undergoing root canal treatment shouldn’t be any more uncomfortable than having a filling performed.
Sure enough, those who have experienced this procedure have tended to report feeling zero or little discomfort during the treatment.
Root canal surgery typically involves removing not only the infection, but also often the damaged nerve, deep inside the tooth’s root. This removal of the nerve relieves the patient from any pain they may be experiencing.
There are certain circumstances in which a dentist may consider it “too late” to carry out root canal treatment. These include if the infection has spread significantly beyond the tooth’s root, or if severe damage has been caused to the tooth.
