Root Canal Treatment Thorpe Hesley

What Are Root Canal Treatments?

Root canal treatment is required when the blood or nerve supply (dental pulp) of a tooth becomes infected through decay or injury. All these factors allow oral bacteria to invade the pulp, inducing pain, temperature sensitivity, and discomfort while chewing. Treatment saves the tooth and prevents infection spreading through the root canal system.

Some of the common symptoms of an infected dental pulp are as follows:

Pain upon chewing
Sensitivity to hot and cold
Swelling or puffiness of the face in the affected area
Tooth discoloration
Abscess draining from the affected area
Fever or malaise

It is crucial to inspect and treat an infected tooth as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

After assessments, your dentist numbs the tooth, accesses the pulp, cleans and disinfects the canals with specialised instruments, and finally seals them.

Most treatments usually take two visits. In most cases, a crown is then required to protect the tooth.

Extraction is possible, but preserving your natural tooth is preferable when feasible.

Dr. Patrugan was fantastic! They were incredibly helpful throughout my entire appointment. Not only were they gentle during the procedure, but they also took the time to explain everything clearly beforehand. I never felt confused or unsure about what was happening, which really put me at ease. Even complex procedures were broken down in a way that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Dr. Patrugan.
