Decay or trauma to a tooth can lead to inflammation and eventual necrosis of the pulp, causing pain or abscess formation and death of the nerve. Treatment options include tooth extraction or root canal therapy.
At Spalding Dental Surgery, we prioritise meticulous root canal treatments for long-term success. Our dentists undergo extensive training and regularly update their skills and equipment to ensure optimal outcomes.
Ensuring your comfort during procedures is our top priority. With dental advances and local anaesthetic, you will have little if any pain. The process involves removing the nerve tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals and pulp chamber, before filling and sealing these canals. We often reinforce the tooth with a strong filling and may recommend a crown to prevent breakage.
