We are versed in carrying out this complex procedure and use the very latest equipment and techniques to leave your mouth decay and infection-free.
A root canal is necessary when the pulp inside of a tooth has become infected due to injury or severe decay. Symptoms of an infected tooth can be extremely unpleasant, causing pain, a bad taste in the mouth and even swelling of the face. However, in some cases, there are no symptoms, which is why it’s vital that patients attend routine dentist appointments, so any symptomless problems can be identified before they escalate. A root canal will eliminate any pain felt from the infection, give you back your chewing ability, and restore the tooth to looking healthy again. Patients often feel a huge sense of relief after they have seen us for root canal treatment.
From a patient’s point of view, having a root canal performed is more straightforward and less invasive than it’s ever been in the past. With the state-of-the-art technology we use at the practice, you can expect a virtually painless experience, and you will also have the option of sedation to place you in a relaxed state, should you feel a little anxious about treatment.
Our dentists have performed hundreds of root canals for patients and deliver only the highest quality of care and treatment here in Trafford.
Examination: your tooth and mouth will be thoroughly examined, to check the extent of the infection and the health of adjacent teeth. A dental dam is placed so the tooth remains clean and dry throughout the procedure.
Treating the infected tooth: the infected matter is carefully cleaned out and any openings are filled to prevent further infection from entering the tooth.
Restoring your tooth: a bespoke and beautiful restoration (such as a crown) is made to provide function and aesthetics to your tooth. You will be given clear instructions on how to look after your tooth post-treatment, and we encourage patients to get in touch if they feel unsure about anything once they leave the practice.
