Root Canal Treatment

Despite advancements in dental treatment, natural teeth are still the best teeth available! Where possible, we will always endeavour to save your teeth rather than remove them. The loss of even a single tooth can have a detrimental effect on your mouth. Other teeth can drift into the gap left by the missing tooth and this can cause problems with your bite.

Root Canal Treatment in London

One method for avoiding the removal of your teeth is root canal treatment, also known as endodontics. This treatment involves the removal of pulp tissues that are at risk of becoming infected or inflamed from the centre of your tooth. Inside of the root is cleaned and filled, in very certain cases time may have to be allowed to settle before filling. At a later appointment at our dentist in Clapham, we’ll check your tooth and once all infection is cleared, your tooth is permanently restored. It may be possible to do both stages in a single visit. A tooth that has been treated through root canal treatment will continue to function normally and can be maintained with routine dental care and oral hygiene measures.

“Always the best treatment and fantastic staff.”

Saving your teeth is our first choice

Allowing bacteria to penetrate the soft tissues in your tooth can cause inflammation, discomfort, and loss of the supporting bone. It is always advisable to try and avoid this advanced stage of infection. Signs to watch out for include: pain in the tooth; prolonged sensitivity to hot, cold, or sugary foods; discolouration of the tooth; swelling or tenderness of the overlying gums, or a bad taste in the mouth. In some cases, however, there are no symptoms at all. If you suspect an infection, call us as soon as possible to arrange an appointment at our dentist in London.
