Root Canal Treatment

Introduction

Why Root Canal Treatment is Vital

Imagine being free from that nagging toothache that makes eating and sleeping a struggle. A root canal treatment can save your tooth and restore your smile without pain. It’s a proven solution for patients suffering from severe tooth decay or infection, offering relief and long-lasting results. At Dean Dental Clinic, we aim to provide a comfortable and effective experience for all patients.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. During the treatment, the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels) is removed, and the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed. This process prevents the spread of infection and alleviates pain.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Not sure if a root canal is necessary? Here are some symptoms to watch for:

  • Persistent Pain: A constant toothache that doesn’t go away.
  • Sensitivity: Sharp pain when eating hot or cold foods.
  • Swollen Gums: Tender or inflamed gums near the affected tooth.
  • Tooth Discoloration: A darkened or greyish tooth caused by nerve damage.
  • Pimple on the Gums: A small bump that may ooze pus, indicating an infection.

If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t delay seeking professional help. Early treatment can save your tooth and prevent complications.
