ROOT CANAL TREATMENT: 

Saving a natural tooth with root canal treatment is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your oral health and preserve your smile. 

Our root canal treatments are carried out with precision and care, designed to be as comfortable and effective as possible. Love your smile again, thanks to root canal therapy.

What is a Root Canal treatment?

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth. This infection may be caused by deep decay, repeated dental treatments, cracks, or trauma to the tooth.

During treatment, the infected pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the space is filled and sealed to prevent further problems. A crown or filling is then placed to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.


What to expect from Root Canal Treatment?

At your first appointment, we’ll carry out a full examination, which may include X-rays, to determine the extent of the infection. We’ll then explain the treatment process step by step so you feel fully informed and at ease.

The procedure itself is usually completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the case. You’ll be given local anaesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. After treatment, the tooth may feel slightly sensitive for a few days, but this quickly settles as the healing process takes place.


Why choose a Root Canal Treatment?

  • Saves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.

  • Eliminates pain and discomfort caused by infection.

  • Restores the ability to chew and bite normally.

  • Maintains the natural look and alignment of your teeth.

  • Provides a long-lasting solution with proper aftercare.


Aftercare?

Some aftercare tips following a root canal include:

  • Take any prescribed medication as advised by your dentist.

  • Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until a crown or final restoration is placed.

  • Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily.

  • Attend regular check-ups to ensure the tooth remains healthy.

  • Contact us if you notice any swelling, pain, or changes around the treated tooth.

With the right care, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years, helping you keep your natural smile intact.
