Why Does A Tooth Need A Root Canal?

We need to get to the root of the problem, literally…

Root canal treatment is required when bacteria get into the inner workings of the tooth. This could be through an exposed crack, chip or deep cavity. Since the inner tooth pulp is packed with blood vessels and nerves, a bacterial invasion can cause extreme discomfort.

If left untreated, an infected tooth can be problematic, leading to…

• A painful abscess
• Swelling and inflammation, or
• Tooth loss.

At Rowtree Dental, we set aside time for daily emergency cases like root canal pain so if you need urgent relief, we advise you to give us a call and where possible, we’ll try and fit you in the same day.

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment In Northampton?

Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy) is essentially a deep clean for the inside of your tooth. Here’s what we do…

• Numb the area – so you shouldn’t feel a thing
• Remove the infection – gently cleaning out the damaged tissue and bacteria
• Flush and seal – we’ll disinfect the canals and seal the area to prevent further infection
• Protect the tooth – in most cases, we’ll recommend a custom dental crown to keep your tooth strong and functional for the long haul.

At the end of the treatment, you’ll be out of pain and good to go!
