More about Martin
We take an x-ray to check the infection hasn’t spread to other areas of your mouth, and discuss the treatment stages with you.
We prepare your tooth for treatment by placing a rubber sheet around it to keep it dry. Using local anaesthetic, we carefully remove the infected pulp tissues.
We flush the root canals with an antibacterial solution to thoroughly clean them, before shaping them using specialised instruments.
We fill the clean root canals with a rubber compound material to seal your tooth and prevent further infection. To finish, we use a permanent filling or crown to restore your tooth shape and function.
Root canal therapy has a reputation for being painful, but this is not the case! We use local anaesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable, and you shouldn’t feel any pain. You may need to use over-the-counter painkillers to manage any mild discomfort after the procedure, but this is temporary. You will mainly feel great relief that you are no longer in pain from your infected tooth!
During a root canal procedure, you can expect your dentist to remove infected pulp from inside your tooth, clean and shape the root canals, and fill the space to prevent further infection. Local anaesthetic is always used to ensure you stay comfortable and pain-free.
An endodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training in diagnosing and treating problems with the tooth pulp and roots. While a general dentist can perform a root canal, an endodontist is an expert in the procedure, particularly for complex cases, and uses specialised equipment.
General dental practitioners are typically able to undertake root canal treatment, but often refer to an endodontist or dentist with a special interest. They have honed their skills and knowledge over many years of further training and experience, and can tackle difficult cases with more predictable results.
Root canal therapy is highly effective, with a success rate of over 95%. When performed correctly, the treated tooth can last a lifetime, preventing the need for extraction and maintaining your natural smile and bite.
If you’re looking for a qualified dentist offering root canal treatment, we can help at Wellington Dental Practice! Our root canal dentist has a special interest in the field and many years of training and experience to give you the highest standards of care. We are also pleased to accept referrals for our root canal treatment.
The length of the appointment varies depending on the complexity of the treatment. Some teeth have one canal and some can have up to five canals. We will give you guidance on the length of appointment you will need.
If the canals within the root of the tooth are able to be cleaned then the success rate can be as high as 90%. However if there are obstructions to cleaning the root canals such as blockages or ledges the success rate drops. We give you personalised information at your consultation.
