Root Canal treatment is carried out by your dentist to save the affected tooth. This could be due to inflammation or severe infection inside your tooth. We always try and preserve your teeth and this is one of the best ways to do this.
You will need root canal treatment if:
At Mews House Dental, we use dentists who have years of experience in root canal treatment.
Our highly experienced dentists conduct all the root canal treatments for our patients.
It will be completed in two dental visits and dental anaesthetic will be needed.
At your first dental visit, Your dentist will take an X-ray of your tooth to see how far the infection has spread, which tooth needs treating and how it is affecting your other teeth. They will also go through your medical history.
At your second visit, our dentists will numb the area with a dental anaesthetic injection.
Once your mouth is numb, they will cover your mouth (except the tooth being worked on). This is called a dental dam and is used to stop the spread of infections.
Our dentists will at this stage, make a small hole in the tooth and clean out the infected area.
Once the area is clean, your dentist will fill and seal it. It is at this stage that your dentist will put a permanent filling on your tooth.
You will have soreness around that area for the rest of the day. Your dentist will provide your aftercare advice and a follow up appointment may be needed if it is a complex case.
Single front teeth are £395.00 and multi back teeth are £450-£550.
X-rays are necessary during your endodontic treatment as we want to see the root to ensure that we have an accurate picture of your root and assess the damage that has occurred. At Mews House, we use an advanced non-film computerized system called digital radiography that produces radiation levels up to 90 percent lower than a low dose x-ray machine.
