Root Canal Treatment at Clowne Dental Practice
If you have a severely infected or painful tooth, a root canal treatment can often save it from extraction. At Clowne Dental Practice, we use the latest techniques and a gentle approach to provide pain-free root canal care in a calm, supportive setting.
Each tooth contains a small space inside that houses the nerves and blood vessels, known as the dental pulp. If this area becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks, the infection can spread and lead to significant discomfort or even a dental abscess.
Root canal treatment involves carefully removing the infected tissue, thoroughly cleaning the inside of the tooth, and filling the space with a biocompatible material to seal and protect it. This allows us to preserve the structure of your natural tooth and restore its function.
We understand that root canal treatment can make some patients feel anxious. That’s why we take extra care to ensure you feel comfortable, fully informed, and relaxed throughout your appointment. Our experienced team will explain everything clearly and make sure you remain pain-free at all times.
Saving a natural tooth through root canal treatment is often the most cost-effective and long-term solution. With proper care, a treated tooth can last for many years and continue to function like any other.
Does root canal treatment hurt?
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and is designed to relieve pain, not cause it.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common symptoms include pain when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or an abscess. Your dentist will confirm if a root canal is needed.
What happens during the procedure?
The infected pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned and shaped, and the space is filled to protect the tooth.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
In many cases, especially for back teeth, a crown is recommended to restore full strength and function.
Is root canal treatment safe?
Yes. It is a well-established and highly effective way to treat infection and save natural teeth.
