Root Canal Treatment Nottingham

image

1.What is Root Canal Treatment used for?

Root canal treatment is used to remove any infected nerves or bacteria within the tooth. This is needed when either the nerve or the blood supply (the pulp) becomes infected because of dental decay or injury to the tooth.

2. Why is Root Canal Treatment used?

If the pulp of the tooth gets infected this can then spread into the root canal area of the tooth. If untreated this can cause an abscess and the infection would develop and spread further.

3. Will it hurt?

During root canal treatment a local anaesthetic is given to patients to prevent pain or discomfort during the treatment. For the next couple of days there may be very minor pain which can be relieved using painkillers.

4. What happens during the root canal treatment?

Our main aim is to remove any infection from the canal system of the tooth. We then shape and clean the canal to stop further infection spreading. Then we apply a temporary filling to the tooth and let it heal.

During the second appointment we finish the root canal treatment using a permanent filling or in some cases a crown. Root canal treatment can only be carried out by a highly skilled dentist and this kind of treatment can take time. Generally, most courses of treatment take two or three visits and the most any one treatment will take is about two hours.

5. Are there any alternatives?

Restoration treatments can be use where the tooth is extracted and then either a bridge, a partial denture or dental implant is used to replace the missing tooth. This aids both chewing and stops neighbouring teeth moving out of position.

Vikesh in the Loughborough Suite made my epic root canal treatment a breeze. His calm informative gentle manner had me completely relaxed. I was so at peace in his hands I possibly even fell asleep during the treatment. Root canal with Vikesh is nothing to be be scared of. Thanks for looking after me so well. … READ MORE

I’ve been very impressed with my whole experience at the Dental Suite after joining as a new patient to the practice recently. The customer service levels expressed by members of their team were second to none and as a fairly anxious and nervous patientent I was made to feel comfortable as soon as I entered the practice. During the initial consultation my treatment options were explained to me thoroughly by both the dentist and the nurse who followed up with me after my appointment. Having my treatment plan explained to me in such a way calmed my nerves and I felt at ease at my next appointment. I will not hesitate to return to the practice in 6 months time for my routine check and hygiene appointment thanks to the dental suite. … READ MORE

I’ve always had issues trusting dentists. I found a dentist I loved but he retired last year so I was putting off finding a new one. I was recommended to see Neel in Nottingham and felt in really safe hands. Felt very welcomed by all the staff and I’m7;m pleased to have found somewhere I can go and not feel nervous. Thanks guys! … READ MORE
