When the decay and bacteria from the outside of the tooth reaches the pulp centre of the tooth, this can infect the nerve and blood supply of the tooth causing a toothache. Root canal treatment is generally like a deeper filling all the way to the ends of the roots of the teeth through several stages at the dentist.

Why should I save teeth?
- To be able to keep the other teeth upright instead of them shifting into the empty gap if the tooth is removed
- To give the remaining healthy teeth support with chewing
- It may be the front tooth and it is in the smile zone, so aesthetically it would be ideal to save it
- Have the ability to chew so that the opposing tooth doesn’t become a redundant tooth without its opposite chewer.
STAGES OF TREATMENT
How many stages does a root canal treatment take?
Every root canal treatment is different, but here is an overview of the steps in the treatment.
Stage 1
Removing the debris from the pulp chamber and placing antibiotics
Stage 2
Cleaning the walls of the canals out and shape them so it can later be sealed
Stage 3
Sealing the prepared canals to reduce any bacteria returning into the pulp
Stage 4
A crown is needed to encase the tooth and make it stronger
* It is very important that root canal therapy goes through every stage to be able to save the tooth so it can function without any temperature sensitivity.
Have a dental emergency?
If your tooth is decayed or damaged a root canal treatment will fix your infected or damaged nerves.

Leanne C2022-12-22Easy to book online, instant confirmation and great follow up from reception. ❤️ Dr Zen didn’t race through a consult like a checklist, that was my first impression! I usually feel like there’s a ‘procedure’ at the dentist and the time limit. He took excellent photos (if you can call tooth decay 🦷 photos excellent) to show and carefully explain what my treatment plan should look like and most importantly why!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
