Once known as being an invasive procedure, the root canal treatment of today causes minimal discomfort and has the potential to salvage a tooth, helping you to avoid a dental extraction.
This treatment is appropriate when the pulp of a tooth has become infected, and here at Ascot Dental Suite, our dentists are highly diligent in carrying out this complex treatment.
When the soft tissue inside the root of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal is a restorative procedure that can treat it. Infection and inflammation can occur as a result of deep decay, repeated procedures on the tooth in question, or a crack or chip.
It’s always our goal to do everything we can to preserve your natural teeth, and a root canal is a way of achieving this when the pulp of a tooth has become infected. Having a root canal will save you from requiring restorative treatment and give you a healthy tooth you can keep in great condition with regular brushing and flossing thereafter.
You will also have better-biting forces to enjoy the foods you love best without having to worry about pain. As infected teeth often appear grey, you may have lost your love of smiling since sustaining the infection. Thanks to your beautiful and bespoke new crown post-treatment, you’re likely to find your volition to smile returns, along with your confidence.
Initial examination:
Cleaning the tooth
Placing your crown
Thanks to the progress made in modern dentistry, root canal treatment should not cause any major degree of discomfort. You will be given local anesthetic before treatment takes place, and any pain you feel can be controlled with over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol.
If you find you are in extreme pain upon returning home after a few days, please contact us.
Please see our price list here.
You should find discomfort subsides after a few days following treatment. There is no recovery period after your bespoke crown has been placed, so you can go out into the world and enjoy the benefits of a new smile straight away!
We recommend avoiding extremely hot or cold food and drink, as this may cause some sensitivity in the days after treatment. Avoid biting on hard food whilst you have a temporary filling or a crown to prevent any chance of damage or cracks.
However, once your permanent crown has been placed at a second appointment, you can care for your newly restored tooth just like your existing teeth.
Root canal treatment will not impact the health or appearance of nearby teeth.
