Root Canal Treatment in Plymouth
You can experience severe pain and discomfort when a tooth becomes infected, and we will always try to save your tooth with a Root Canal rather than extract it.
You might not have any pain in the early stages. A tell-tale sign of something wrong with the nerve system within your tooth is discolouration or a slight darkening.
Root canals (Endodontics) are a skilled form of treatment and usually take a couple of appointments to complete.
Contact us today at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre if you need Root Canal Treatment in Plymouth.
What is a Root Canal, and when is it needed?
Root canal treatment treats infection in the centre of a tooth caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and invade the tooth. Infections can happen due to tooth decay, leaky fillings, or damage to teeth.
The root canal system contains the dental pulp and extends from the tooth’s crown to the root’s end. The pulp is the nerve supply to your tooth. If it becomes infected, it can spread into the gum, causing an abscess or gumboil.
How is Root Canal Treatment carried out?
We administer a local anaesthetic to numb the area so the procedure will not be painful and no more unpleasant than having a filling. The infected or inflamed pulp will then be removed, and the root canals will be cleaned, shaped and sealed.
Root canal treatment removes bacteria and fills the root canal. In most cases, the inflamed tissue at the end of the tooth will heal naturally.
Depending on the tooth’s condition, we can restore it to its full shape and function with either a white filling or a dental crown.
Does Root Canal treatment hurt?
We always use plenty of local anaesthetics and allow sufficient time for the anaesthetic to work to make the treatment as painless as possible.
Our advanced dental sedation and anaesthetics services can help if you’re feeling anxious.
