At Richmond Dental, we know that dental issues can sometimes be more complicated than just a simple cavity, especially when the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected. If you're experiencing this, don’t worry – Root Canal Treatment (or endodontic treatment) can help save your tooth and get your oral health back on track.
Root canal treatments are a procedure used to treat the pulp inside your tooth, which is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. If this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay or trauma, it can cause severe pain, swelling, and even abscess formation. Left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to further complications, potentially resulting in tooth loss.
During a root canal appointment, our experienced Malvern dentists carefully remove the infected pulp from within the tooth. The root canal system, which consists of the tiny passages that run through the roots of your teeth, is thoroughly cleaned to remove all bacteria and infected tissue. Once the tooth is free from infection, the space is filled with a special material and resealed. In many cases, a crown may also be placed over the tooth to provide additional strength and restore its natural appearance.
Root canal treatments offer a number of significant benefits, making it a crucial procedure for preserving your dental health:
While root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure for most cases, some complex situations may require additional care. If your case involves unusual complications or advanced infection, we work closely with trusted local partner practices who specialise in more complex endodontic procedures. Should a referral be necessary, we will ensure you are in the hands of experts who can offer the advanced care you need to achieve the best possible outcome.
At Richmond Dental, we understand the anxiety surrounding dental procedures, however, we ensure that the procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. From your initial consultation to the final restoration, we are committed to guiding you through every step of the treatment with care and professionalism.
