Root Canal

Root Canal

Advanced Tooth-Saving Endodontic Treatments

The onset of mild sensitivity could indicate weak enamel. Left untreated, sensitivity can quickly turn into toothache—a clear warning sign that something isn’t right.

Sensitivity and aches are often a sign that bacteria have penetrated and decayed the tooth’s enamel surface. Left untreated, the pain can quickly become unbearable.

However inconvenient they may be, you should never ignore the signs of an infection. If you’re experiencing severe dental discomfort, you may have an infected root canal.

A root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infection and saves the tooth. At The CDC, our experienced endodontist has a reputation for delivering a high standard of care in every root canal treatment.

Dental Infection Symptoms

Inside your teeth is a chamber filled with connective tissue, nerve endings, and living cells. Known as “dental pulp”, this matter extends down into the root canals, the furthest tips of your teeth that extend into the jaw.

When bacteria enter your tooth through a chip, crack, or an untreated cavity, you may experience several uncomfortable symptoms, including:

  • Pain or discomfort while biting or chewing
  • Sensitivity when consuming hot or cold food and beverages
  • Swelling of the gums
  • Facial swelling
  • Noticeably dark areas on the tooth
  • Pus around the tooth and gums

Don’t dismiss these symptoms. If you’re experiencing these signs, you may need a root canal treatment. It’s essential to seek help promptly. Ignoring the problem could mean the infection kills the affected tooth before moving elsewhere in the mouth and body.

Root Canal Treatment – What to Expect

Root canal treatments are routine procedures to remove infection and preserve
the tooth. Here’s what you can expect from the process.

Assess

We’ll begin by taking X-rays of your tooth to assess the extent of the infection. This image will inform the treatment, and we’ll refer to it throughout the process.

Prepare

We’ll administer an anaesthetic before the treatment to help manage comfort levels throughout your treatment. This will numb the tooth and surrounding area to ensure a painless experience.

Treat

During the procedure, we’ll remove all the infected matter and bacteria from the core of your tooth. Once we’ve cleared the infection, we’ll use a natural latex-like material called gutta-percha to fill the inner tooth cavity. We’ll close the tooth with a tooth-coloured filling.

Recover

After treatment, avoid chewing or drinking anything hot until your anaesthetic wears off. You may experience some sensitivity after the treatment, but the infection pain will have gone.

Crowning

We may suggest placing a crown on your restored tooth. At the CDC, we can produce bespoke same-day CEREC crowns that look great and protect your tooth from future infection.

The Benefits of Treatment

You may feel nervous about receiving root canal treatment; however, the procedure has high success rates. With modern techniques, the process is easier and more comfortable than ever.

A root canal treatment stops bacteria from spreading. Left untreated, you may lose the tooth or develop an abscess; the infection could harm other teeth, gums, and jaw before progressing to your essential organs via your bloodstream.

Root canal treatments relieve dental discomfort. Using the latest patient-friendly techniques, we aim to preserve your tooth and free you from symptoms quickly.
