Root Canal Treatment

When a tooth is decayed, fractured or has been the subject of repeated dental treatment it’s root canal is at greater risk of becoming infected. This infection will be painful, but find a dentist with the right skills and it can be treated quickly and the tooth will be saved. People quite often try to ignore the initial infection, however if left untreated this can lead to the formation of a nasty abscess and consequently the tooth will die.

I think I might need root canal treatment. What do I do?
At New Road Dental, we have a team of skilled dentists who are able to carry out Root Canal Treatment in as little as one or two sessions. We use a local anaesthetic to to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment, so apart from a little sensitivity after the sessions you will not feel any pain. If you do find the sensitivity to be very uncomfortable, it can be easily relieved with painkillers, although it should settle by itself approximately 12-24 hours after treatment.

If you’re suffering with an abscess or you’ve been experiencing a pain that just doesn’t seem to be going away, we would highly recommend visiting the team at New Road Dental, Bromsgrove. Remember, a root canal treatment can often be the difference between keeping a tooth, or losing it.
