When Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?<\/h3>

The human tooth is comprised of two main sections. The part that you see above the surface is known as the crown while the system that sits in the jaw is called the root canal system. Problems with the latter can be very painful, and will need professional expertise to find a solution.<\/p>\n

Damage to this part of the tooth can be caused by a number of factors. The most common is a bacterial infection. This can cause a lot of discomfort for the victim, especially when the pulp inside the tooth starts to decay and die. Worse still, it can leave you open to further infection and damage.<\/p>\n

If you feel pain in this part of the tooth and see swelling to the area, it\u2019s imperative that you act fast. Failure to do so could result in a lost tooth. Besides, nobody enjoys the agony of a severe toothache.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

How Does The Process Work?<\/h3>

In most cases, treatment will comprise two stages. The main process is to stop the issue and fit a temporary solution. The latter involves replacing the short-term fix with a long-term answer. This usually means fitting a crown.<\/p>\n

Our experienced experts will prepare the tooth by creating a clean environment to conduct their work. Once this has been achieved, they will set to work on removing the dead pulp before shaping the canals and filling them.<\/p>\n

Finally, a temporary filling is used to cover the damaged surface area. This is the aspect that will be upgraded upon your return visit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Dealing with this dental problem requires drilling into the affected tooth, and would be quite painful. However, you will be given anaesthetics to numb your mouth. Quite frankly, you will not feel a thing.<\/p>\n

If deemed necessary, you will be provided with post-treatment antibiotics to prevent further infections. The appointment for your permanent fitting will be administered in the best manner possible.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s natural for patients to be a little worried, but there is nothing to fear. After all, our experts are here to remove the pain rather than create it!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
