When patients hear they might be in need of a root canal treatment, they’re often nervous or anxious about the treatment. Thanks to modern advancements, cutting-edge technology, and our team at Pristine Dental Group, root canal treatments are nothing to be scared of.
A root canal treatment can become necessary when the nerve at the core of the tooth has become exposed and infected. This is usually due to tooth decay or gum disease, but can also be caused by injury or trauma to the face. When the nerve is exposed like this, it can also extend to the canals in the roots of the tooth.
This in turn increases sensitivity and can often cause pain and discomfort in the patient. If infection of the nerve and root canal is left untreated, it can lead to tooth extraction and the need to replace the tooth altogether, which is why it’s so important to seek root canal treatment when needed.
During your root canal treatment in North West London, we’ll clean out the root canals using delicate instruments and remove any infection. A rubber-like filling is then used to prevent bacteria from re-entering the tooth and to help restore the tooth to full function. In some cases, we may also need to place a crown in order to ensure the tooth is fully restored.
Our team always lead with care and compassion and will take you through your treatment journey step-by-step, so you know exactly what to expect when. If you feel particularly nervous or anxious about receiving root canal treatment, we can also offer sedation, which will put you into a relaxed, almost dream-like state.
