Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?
Choosing a root canal instead of extraction has several advantages:
• It relieves deep pain and stops the infection in its tracks.
• It preserves your natural tooth — maintaining full chewing ability and natural appearance.
• It protects the surrounding bone and prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting.
• It often helps avoid more complex and costly replacements (such as implants or bridges) in the future.
Our Root Canal Process
- Consultation & Diagnostic Imaging
We begin with a thorough examination and use digital imaging to pinpoint the problem area and plan treatment accurately. - Local Anaesthesia & Access
The affected tooth is completely numbed to ensure your comfort. A small opening is made to access the infected canal. - Cleaning, Shaping & Disinfection
We remove the damaged pulp, clean and shape the canal space, and disinfect thoroughly to eliminate bacteria and prevent re-infection. - Sealing & Restoration
Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a stable, biocompatible material and sealed. The tooth is then restored — usually with a crown — to protect it long-term and restore full function. - After-Care & Follow-Up
After treatment we’ll provide maintenance guidance, check your progress, and schedule follow-up visits to ensure everything is healing correctly.
Long-Term Care & Prevention Tips
The success of a root canal and restoration relies on your ongoing dental care. These habits are key:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush.
- Clean between your teeth daily with floss or interdental tools.
- Use a fluoride or antibacterial mouthwash if recommended.
- Avoid frequent sugary or acidic foods and drinks, which can harm your teeth.
Keep up with regular check-ups and professional cleanings so any issues are detected early.
Root Canal vs. Extraction: Why Saving the Tooth Matters
While extraction might seem like the simpler option, it often leads to bigger problems such as:
- Loss of bone in the jaw over time.
- Shifting of neighbouring teeth and bite changes.
- The need for expensive replacements like implants or bridges.
By saving your natural tooth with a root canal when possible, you maintain chewing ability, protect the structure of your jaw, and often enjoy a more durable and cost-effective solution.
