The advantages of root canal treatment
- Saves natural teeth that have become infected
- Prevents the need for extractions
- Stops infection from spreading to adjacent teeth
- Treating natural teeth is cheaper than replacing them
- Advanced technology allows for better treatment and results
Restoring natural teeth
Root canal treatment (also known as endodontics) is used to save teeth if their internal pulp has become infected. The tissues within the root canals contain a dense combination of blood vessels and nerves that can be vulnerable to infection as a result of decay.
Without prompt specialist treatment, the condition can develop and lead to the tooth having to be removed. Infection can also potentially spread to neighbouring teeth and cause further complications.
The good news is that effective endodontic treatment can save the affected tooth and restore it to its normal appearance and functionality.
A simple process
- The first step is your initial assessment appointment
- The treatment itself starts with as small hole being made in the top of the tooth to allow for the internal pulp and infection to be removed
- The canals within the tooth are then cleaned and filled with a special replacement material
- The tooth is then sealed
- It may then be necessary to fit a crown on top to strengthen and protect the tooth

The use of an anaesthetic during your treatment will ensure it is relatively comfortable. Afterwards you may feel some discomfort, though this can be managed with standard, over-the-counter painkillers.
If the pulp inside a tooth is infected then this can cause an abscess (a swollen area with a collection of pus). Without intervention, the infection will rapidly spread and may require the extraction of the tooth.
A root-treated tooth should be looked after in the same way as your other teeth. It’s essential to brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and limit sugary foods to meal times.
We also recommend that you regularly visit the practice for check-ups and hygiene appointments.
The other option is extraction. Even though some patients would rather have the tooth removed, in most cases it is best to save it.
A root-filled tooth is much better for your oral health than a missing one. Root canal treatment is also a lot cheaper than having to replace an extracted tooth with a prosthetic alternative, such as a dental implant or bridge.
