Root canal treatment

When a large cavity in a tooth reaches the nerve chamber, or in some cases when a tooth breaks, root canal treatment may be required. In order to save the tooth the Titchfield Dental Health team take great care to painlessly clean and fill infected tooth canals with the most up to date rotary systems, before adding a filling material to seal them.

Within every tooth is a nerve chamber and a blood supply in the root canal. In a healthy tooth, these nerves will be alive. Front teeth will normally have one root holding them in the jaw bone, but back teeth can have two, three or four.

If a large cavity in a tooth reaches the nerve chamber, or if a tooth breaks, bacteria can cause the nerves to die. The root canals can become infected and an abscess may form beneath the root(s) of the tooth, in the jawbone. Pain may occur at any time during this process, and the infection can spread.

Treatment is usually carried out over one or two visits to Titchfield Dental Health. The purpose of the treatment is to remove the bacteria or dying tissue from inside the tooth and to clean and disinfect the root canals. This is achieved by making a small hole through the tooth into the nerve chamber, locating and measuring the root canals, then cleaning and widening them using fine instruments. Local anaesthetic is used throughout the procedure to avoid any discomfort.

To aid the instrumentation of these intricate channels to the tooth, magnification may be used and if possible, the tooth will usually be isolated to keep the area dry and clear.

Once clean, the canals are filled to seal them off from re-infection. In most cases, infections will start to heal at this point.

Most patients only experience mild discomfort following treatment, but it is common to experience none at all.

Appointment was on time, the dental nurse and dentist were both very friendly and I felt at complete ease. They took the time to explain what they were doing, and checking I was OK throughout the procedure.

Like many, I am extremely nervous to visit the dentist. Unfortunately discovering I had a tooth infection, I had no choice. After reading Tictchfield Heslth’s wonderful reviews in regards to nervous patients, I booked myself in. I was absolutely blown away by the empathy, understanding and patience given to me by both Anya & Jenny. They are incredible. Anya listened to all my concerns - I mean REALLY listened! She went through every bit of the procedure slowly, never rushing me and was so gentle and patient with me. Jenny comforted me through every step of the way and made sure that I was ok through it all. I have never ever had such empathy shown to me at a dentist appointment! I absolutely cannot thank you both enough
