Endodontic Treatment (Root Canal Treatment)

Root Canal Treatments at Richmond Dental

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.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

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.

Why is Root Canal Treatment Important?

Root canal treatments offer a number of significant benefits, making it a crucial procedure for preserving your dental health:

  • Preservation of Healthy Tooth Structure: By removing the infected pulp and cleaning the root canal system, Root Canal Treatment helps preserve the remaining healthy tooth structure, allowing you to retain your natural tooth rather than opting for extraction.
  • Prevention of Further Infection: The treatment helps prevent the infection from spreading further into the surrounding bone or other teeth, which can lead to more serious dental issues if left untreated.
  • Restoration: Once the infection is removed and the tooth is sealed, it is restored to its natural look and function. You’ll be able to chew and speak normally, as well as enjoy a pain-free smile once again.

Complex Cases and Referrals

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.
