Root Canal Treatment In Solihull
Root canal treatment is needed when the nerve inside your tooth becomes infected through decay or from damage due to an injury to your mouth.
This infection may spread through the root canal system, which could eventually lead to an abscess. There can also be swelling of your gum and face.
If root canal treatment is not carried out, your tooth may need to be removed. You may decide to have the tooth extracted, but we will always discuss the advantages and disadvantages of all the treatment options available to you so that you are able to choose the treatment which is right for you.
Why root canal treatment?
The aim of this treatment is the removal of the harmful bacteria present in the root canal system. Once the infection has been cleaned out, your dentist will shape and fill the root canal and seal your tooth to prevent further infection. Using local anesthetic, the treatment overall should feel no different to having an ordinary filling.
Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure and usually requires two appointments. This can vary however if the root canals are difficult to clean because of their complicated shape or if there has been a long-standing infection.
In complicated cases we will advise specialist treatment with an endodontist to give you the best chance of a successful outcome.
Will I need a crown?
Following root canal treatment, the tooth will be weaker than it was before. We may advise that an onlay or crown is needed to restore the tooth, which could otherwise break. Over time, a root-filled tooth may darken.
If there is any discoloration, there are several treatment options available to restore the tooth’s natural appearance. We will discuss these options with you as required.
