Root Canal treatment
When a tooth is severely damaged or infected, root canal treatment can save it. At D4 Dentist, we understand that hearing “root canal” might sound daunting, but this treatment is an effective way to relieve pain, remove infection, and preserve your natural tooth for years to come.
Why you might need root canal treatment
A root canal is typically recommended when a tooth’s pulp becomes infected due to decay, a crack, or trauma. Without treatment, the infection can spread, potentially leading to an abscess and further complications. Symptoms might include pain, sensitivity to temperature, or swelling around the affected area, but sometimes, there are no symptoms, which is why routine check-ups are crucial.
A gentle approach
At D4 Dentist, we use the latest technology and techniques to make root canal treatment as comfortable as possible. Our team will ensure you are well-informed at every step and will tailor the treatment to suit your needs. We use local anaesthesia to numb the area, making the procedure virtually painless, and our experienced team works carefully to ensure optimal results and comfort throughout.
The process involves the infection in the pulp of the tooth being cleaned out using specialised technique and medicament to clear the infection. The canals are then filled with a special root filling material. It allows pain relief and restores dental health. Different teeth have different numbers of canals, front teeth having one to two canals whereas back teeth can have up to four. This accounts for the difference in fees for such treatment.​
