Root Canal Treatment

At Brimington Dental Practice, our highly skilled team can help remove the infection from the root of the tooth, restoring a tooth to full function with a root canal treatment.

When the infection has spread to the root/interior of the tooth, it can not only cause the patient a great deal of pain and sensitivity, but it also poses a threat to the health and stability of the tooth. If left untreated, this type of infection can cause abscesses and even the loss of the tooth – something we always try to prevent.

With a root canal treatment, we remove the infection present as well as any damaged part of the tooth, before thoroughly cleaning out the root canal and sealing it back up again. Our highly skilled team have vast knowledge and experience when it comes to performing this treatment, so even though root canal treatment has something of a ‘bad’ reputation, you never have to worry here. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable throughout, with local anaesthetic administered and sedation available if necessary.

Some patients may also need to have a crown placed once their root canal treatment has been carried out.
