Symptoms such as severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or darkening of the tooth may indicate the need for a root canal.
If you’re unfortunate enough to need one, our professional dentists will take every precaution to ensure your treatment goes smoothly.
The dental pulp is the soft tissue in the middle of the tooth. It contains the blood and nerve supply of a tooth. If it becomes infected due to decay, damage, or a weak filling, then a root canal is needed to correct it.
If not treated, the infection will progress, leading to pain, swelling, and oozing pus. Ultimately, the tooth may need to be removed if the infection isn’t caught early enough.
At Battersea Smiles, we provide top-notch root canal treatments to ensure your oral health is maintained without the need for tooth extraction. Our skilled dental professionals are dedicated to making this process as comfortable as possible, using the latest technology to deliver effective results.
Root canal treatment is a particular dental procedure designed to save teeth that are severely decayed or infected. This treatment is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or inflamed.
This can happen due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or an injury to the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.
Symptoms such as severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or darkening of the tooth may indicate the need for a root canal.
Modern root canal treatments in Battersea are performed under local anaesthesia, making the procedure relatively painless.
A typical root canal procedure can take between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Performing a root canal treatment takes a long time and requires a highly skilled dentist. Luckily, modern dentistry has made the process a lot more comfortable than it used to be. The whole treatment will be conducted under anaesthesia and should not be painful.
The goal of the treatment is to completely remove the infection from the tooth. As it is a complicated treatment, it typically requires at least two visits to the dentist.
