At Desford Dental Care, our team of highly skilled and compassionate dentists can perform root canal treatments for our patients in need of endodontic treatment.
What is a root canal treatment?
We carry out root canal treatments to help treat any infection that might be present at the very root of the tooth.
Why do I need a root canal treatment?
At Desford Dental Care, we would recommend a root canal treatment to any patient living with an infected tooth root. These infections usually come about due to decay, but can also be caused by injury or trauma, as well as leaky fillings.
What are the symptoms?
There are several symptoms that might indicate you’re in need of a root canal treatment. These include a loose tooth and pain when you’re chewing or when you bite down. If you’re experiencing either of these, we recommend you get in touch with us as soon as possible.
What is the treatment like?
Our team here at Desford Dental Care are highly experienced and skilled when it comes to root canal treatment. Thanks to this and our kind, compassionate approach to dentistry, even nervous patients feel calm and assured when receiving this treatment with us.
All patients will first be given a local anaesthetic so they won’t experience any discomfort. We’ll then irrigate and disinfect the tooth, removing the infection. After this has been done, we’ll apply a filling to ensure the tooth is restored to full function. We may also have to apply a crown, depending on the amount of damage present.
