Root Canal

When a tooth becomes badly decayed or infected, your dentist may recommend a root canal to help save the tooth and avoid more serious problems developing. Without treatment, the infection can spread, potentially leading to painful abscesses or even damage to surrounding teeth and bone. Root canal therapy is a routine procedure that can stop the infection, relieve your discomfort and restore the health of your tooth.

The process involves removing the infected nerve and pulp from inside the tooth. Once the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, the space is filled and sealed to prevent the infection from returning. Although root canal treatments have a reputation for being painful, modern techniques and local anaesthetic mean most patients find the experience no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling.

At Mastrick Smile Care, we use the latest tools and high-quality materials to make sure your root canal treatment is as smooth and effective as possible. Many patients feel relief from pain after their very first appointment. Once the tooth has been treated and fully restored, it will function just like any other tooth, without pain or sensitivity.
