Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment can sound a tad overwhelming, but it is an essential treatment that you may need at some time in your life.
What it is and what we do:
- It is needed when the inner part of your tooth gets infected, often due to decay or injury. This can lead to severe pain, especially with temperature changes, and can even result in an abscess. Sometimes, there might be no pain if the nerve dies.
- At Spondon Dental, our skilled dentists use advanced techniques to treat the infection. The process is like getting a filling but lengthier, it involves cleaning and disinfecting the infected area. We use the latest tools, like single-use rotary files and disinfectant solutions to best treat you. After cleaning, the tooth is sealed with a filling to prevent future infections, once this is done it will be checked again at a follow-up visit for permanent filling or crowning.
- Though intricate and potentially requiring multiple visits, root canal treatment aims to save the tooth. If not done, the only alternative is tooth extraction, which could necessitate a denture, bridge, or implant.
In any case we are here to do what is best for you, and you can trust us to provide you with the best.
