Root canal treatment targets infections at the core of a tooth. While many believe the procedure is painful, it's actually the infection that causes discomfort. Our treatment focuses on relieving pain, eliminating the infection, and preserving your natural tooth.
When the pulp inside your tooth—made up of soft tissue, nerves, and blood vessels—becomes infected from decay or injury, root canal treatment may be required. Without prompt treatment, the infection can spread, causing an abscess, significant discomfort, and potentially leading to tooth loss.
At Wycombe Dental Centre, we use advanced magnification technology and effective pain management techniques to ensure your comfort throughout your treatment. Our team will guide you through every step of the process beforehand, giving you confidence that you're in safe, expert hands.
One of our dentists will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection.
A local anaesthetic is administered to numb the area, ensuring you experience no discomfort during the procedure.
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal is cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling.
The cleaned root canal is filled and sealed with a material to prevent bacteria from re-entering.
A crown or filling is then placed on the tooth to restore its natural shape, appearance, and function
Most patients resume their regular activities the following day. Some sensitivity after treatment is common and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Our friendly team would love to hear from you.
