KEY BENEFIT

SAVE A TOOTH

Trust us to treat root canal infection, take away the pain and do everything possible to save your tooth.

SUITABLE FOR

  • Swelling and infection in the soft tissue of the tooth
  • Draining abscesses
  • The best chance of saving the tooth
WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

The root canal consists of blood vessels and nerves extending to the bottom of the root of the tooth.

If a tooth becomes badly decayed, bacteria can infect and damage this area. In some cases, the tooth will become darker, which could mean the tooth’s nerve is dying.

Root canal treatment deals with the infection and, for most patients, saves teeth that would otherwise need to be taken out.

With root canal treatment at Wytes you can:

  • Enjoy the benefits of a procedure that deals with infection and can often save the tooth
  • Experience a treatment that gives the patient no more discomfort than having a filling
  • Take away the pain

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Root canal treatment at Wytes

X-rays

We can analyse the damage to your tooth and prepare for treatment by taking x-rays.

Remove infection

Under local anaesthetic, we’ll remove the infected areas and drain abscesses.

Temporary filling

Your dentist will fit a temporary filling and we’ll book you in for your next appointment.

Second appointment

We’ll fill and seal the tooth. For some patients, it’s best to fit a crown

Frequently Asked Questions

We perform these procedures under local anaesthetic so you should feel no pain. The treatment should give you no more discomfort than having a filling.

There may be some discomfort, which should settle within a couple of days. If the discomfort does not subside, please call the practice.

We remove the tooth’s inner section, so it will be structurally weaker than your existing teeth. In some root canal cases, we’ll use a crown to reinforce your tooth.

With a good daily routine and regular dental check-ups, your treated tooth should last for many years.

In rare cases, the infection can come back. It’s usually possible to repeat the treatment.
