Root Canal treatment is usually advised in cases of prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling, tenderness of the gums next to teeth, discolouration of teeth or a bad taste in the mouth. Root canal treatment can help prevent a diseased tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted and the tooth can function as normal with good care and oral hygiene.

Symptoms

• 1. Mild to severe toothache, that worsens with time.
• 2. Lingering sharp pain at night time.
• 3. Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold food.
• 4. Pain while chewing or biting food.
• 5. Swelling in the gums.

The root canal treatment will be carried out under a local anaesthetic to put you at ease, to provide a pain-free experience. The tooth is restored to full shape and function with a permanent filling or a crown depending on the remaining tooth structure. If you have pain, discomfort or any of the above-mentioned symptoms please contact us.
