What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as root canal therapy or endodontic treatment, is designed to treat an affected tooth where the infected pulp or nerve inside has become damaged.
This often happens due to deep decay, trauma, or untreated tooth decay, which is a common occurrence in people who do not take care of their teeth, although it could happen to anyone. If left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues, causing more serious dental problems.
To be honest, it’s difficult to leave it untreated due to the pain and discomfort dental patients will feel, forcing them to get the required dental treatment.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Therapy
Before booking a root canal treatment appointment at our dental clinic near Weybridge, it is important to figure out your symptoms.
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent pain or tooth sensitivity
- Swelling in the gums
- A bad taste in the mouth
- Pain when biting or applying pressure
If you have these symptoms, it’s important to book a consultation immediately with our dentist at The Staines Centre for Dental Excellence.
We will assess your dental health using X-rays to confirm if a canal treatment is needed.
If the answer is “no”, we will identify your dental problems and lead you to the correct treatment.
The Root Canal Treatment Procedure
The truth is that root canal treatment can feel a little scary simply because you’re dealing with something that is uncomfortable. This is because the treatment procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the space to prevent further infection.
However, there are certain steps we take to ensure the procedure is no more uncomfortable than is necessary. Not all procedures will be identical, but some of the things that our dentist may do are:
- A local anaesthetic is used to ensure comfort
- A rubber dam keeps the area clean and dry
- The damaged pulp and bacteria are removed
- The canals are shaped and filled
- A final filling or dental crown is placed for protection
In some complex cases, multiple visits or several treatments may be required; however, these will all be discussed with you as and when you come in for your first appointment, and we will have a better look at your situation.
What Are The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?
There are many benefits to choosing root canal treatment, some of which are:
- Saves your natural tooth
- Prevents the spread of infection
- Relieves pain and inflammation
- Maintains overall oral health
In most cases, it is often the only solution to stop infection without removing the tooth.
In addition to the treatment itself, we must express that the tooth structure may need extra support. This support could be provided with a crown or restoration, which helps protect root-treated teeth and allows you to use your tooth normally again after it has fully healed.
