Root Canal Treatment in Prestwich
Root canal treatment is a highly effective dental procedure used to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. At Oakley Dental in Prestwich, we use the latest techniques to ensure your treatment is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
At the centre of every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp. When this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to severe pain, swelling, and even abscesses. Without treatment, the tooth may eventually need to be extracted.
Root canal therapy works by removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing the tooth to protect it from further damage. With prompt treatment, we can save your natural tooth and help you avoid the need for extraction or replacement.
Common signs you may need a root canal:
- Persistent toothache or spontaneous pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the source is removed
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- A darkening or discolouration of the tooth
- A cracked or broken tooth with exposed pulp
Our skilled dental team, led by experienced restorative clinicians, ensures your root canal treatment is tailored to your needs. Once treated, the tooth may be protected with a dental crown to restore full function and strength.
Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We use local anaesthetics and gentle techniques to ensure you’re comfortable throughout.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of infection.
What happens after the root canal?
After your root canal is complete, we may recommend placing a crown or onlay to protect the tooth and restore its function and appearance.
Will I still feel pain after the root canal?
Some mild discomfort is normal for a few days after treatment, but it should quickly subside. If pain persists, contact us.
