What To Expect With Root Canal Treatment
01
Assessment And Diagnosis
A clinical examination and discussion of symptoms are used to assess the tooth and decide whether Root Canal Treatment is appropriate.
02
X-Rays And Treatment Planning
X-rays are taken where clinically indicated to confirm the diagnosis and help plan the approach and likely appointment needs.
03
Local Anaesthetic And Comfort
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and your dentist will discuss comfort measures to help you during treatment.
04
Cleaning And Shaping The Root Canals
The dentist accesses the tooth, removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue and prepares the canals to reduce the risk of ongoing infection.
05
Sealing The Root Canals
After cleaning, the root canals are sealed to reduce the chance of reinfection and ready the tooth for restoration.
06
Restoring And Reviewing The Tooth
Depending on the tooth and remaining structure a filling or crown may be recommended and follow up is arranged to monitor healing.
Could Root Canal Treatment Be Right For You?
Root Canal Treatment may be recommended when the dental pulp inside a tooth is infected or inflamed and possible signs include persistent pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, deep decay, a crack or a tooth that has been traumatised or subject to previous deep dental work.
If you notice these symptoms you should seek a clinical assessment so your dentist can explain the cause, whether X-rays are needed and whether Root Canal Treatment is the recommended option for your tooth.
We understand many patients feel anxious about dental treatment and we take time to explain each stage, discuss comfort measures and answer questions so you know what to expect; suitability, timescale and cost are confirmed after assessment because every patient is different.
Protecting Your Tooth After Root Canal Treatment
Practical aftercare and ongoing checks help protect the treated tooth once Root Canal Treatment is completed.
Review appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and the condition of the treated tooth.
Maintaining good brushing and flossing supports the long term health of a restored tooth.
Where appropriate your dentist will discuss restorative options such as a filling or crown to protect remaining tooth structure.
Contact us if you notice increased pain, swelling or any new symptoms around the treated tooth.
Your dentist will explain what to expect after treatment and provide personalised aftercare advice following your procedure.
