But thanks to the option of local anaesthetic to numb the tooth before treatment, and our experienced team, there is no place for such a reputation here.
Root canal treatments treat infection that is found in the root or ‘pulp’ of the tooth. This is usually due to advanced tooth decay but can also be caused by a leaky filling or broken tooth.
Although some infections can arise without pain, the usual presentation of an infected dental pulp is one with severe pain and discomfort.
If the tooth is suitable, root canal treatment is an option to try to save an infected tooth.
First, we can administer a local anaesthetic so the area being treated is numb and that you are comfortable throughout the treatment. We can then clean the inner canals of the tooth, making sure the infection is reduced before further cleaning and disinfection of the tooth.
A rubber type material will then be used to fill the inner canals to reduce the risk of the infection returning. We usually recommend a type of crown to protect the tooth after root canal treatment.
