Root canal therapy treats inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth. Dentists usually perform this treatment to save a tooth and prevent infection from spreading. At Absolute Dental, we have a dentist with a special interest in root canal treatment who can assess your case and provide the appropriate treatment.

During the root canal treatment, the dentist will remove the infected pulp inside the tooth. They will then clean and disinfect the tooth, before shaping the root canal with specialised tools and placing a Filling inside the open space to seal the tooth.

In certain instances, the dentist may be unable to complete a root canal on the same day, and you may have to return for a second appointment. In this case, you will receive a temporary filling to protect the tooth between appointments. If your tooth is significantly damaged, you may also require a crown fitting.

Root canal treatment has a very high success rate, and once the dentist has repaired your tooth, it can last a lifetime with proper oral care. We also accept referrals for repeat root canal treatment where the previous attempt has failed for any reason.

If you are experiencing any discomfort or tooth sensitivity, call us on 01617 739 922 to book a consultation.
