If you are struggling with discomfort caused by a severely infected or damaged tooth, then you may be looking for a dentist in Teddington which offers root canal treatment. Perhaps your previous dentist was unable to offer this form of treatment, or perhaps you are not currently registered for a dentist in Teddington and are looking for one who is able to meet your current dental needs. Here at Kirby Dental we are pleased to be able to offer root canal treatment for our patients. Often it can be recommended that patients with deep decay, fractured or cracked teeth, or teeth which have undergone repeated treatments explore root canal treatment.
Before undergoing any form of dental treatment it is paramount that you have a discussion with a qualified dental practitioner. Often our dentist in Teddington will wish to examine your mouth and teeth and have a discussion with you about relevant medical and dental history. During your examination our dentist will be able to identify whether you are a suitable candidate for root canal treatment.
Root canal treatment often involves a similar number of steps.
Our dentist examines your tooth, evaluates X-rays, and determines the extent of the infection or damage. Based on this assessment, a treatment plan can be developed.
To help promote your comfort, our qualified practitioner can administer local anaesthetic to numb the area surrounding the affected tooth.
An access hole is made in the tooth in order to reach the pulp chamber and using dental tools, our dentist carefully removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth’s root canals.
The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to help get rid of any remaining bacteria and prevent future infection. Then the cleaned root canals are filled and the access hole in the tooth is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.
Depending on the extent of damage to the tooth’s structure, a dental crown or filling may be placed to restore its strength, functionality, and appearance.
Root canal treatment alleviates the severe toothache caused by the infected pulp, providing immediate relief and restoring comfort. By treating the infected tooth rather than extracting it, root canal treatment allows you to maintain your natural smile and avoid the need for more extensive dental work, such as dental implants or bridges. Removing the infection and cleaning the root canals helps to prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and reduces the risk of complications.
Following root canal treatment, the tooth can be restored with a dental crown, which not only strengthens the tooth, but also enhances its appearance, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural smile.
With proper oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime, offering a durable and cost-effective solution.
Root canal therapy is a highly beneficial dental procedure that can save a severely damaged or infected tooth, relieve pain, and restore oral health and functionality. If our dentist recommends root canal therapy, embracing the treatment can help preserve your natural smile and prevent the need for more extensive dental interventions.
