Root Canal Treatment

The name may strike fear into many, but root canal treatment is often necessary to prevent tooth decay and loss. It can go a long way towards ensuring the integrity of how your mouth looks and functions.

Why Would I Need Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is needed when the dental pulp inside your tooth becomes infected. This is often caused by tooth decay and is unlikely to go away on its own. This infection is likely to spread to your other teeth and gums if left untreated, so it is of utmost importance to receive root canal treatment in Corby before more damage is caused.

What Does Root Canal Treatment Entail?

First, a local anaesthetic is given to numb the area in need of treatment. Once this is completed, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and then sealed with a crown or a filling to prevent further infection.

How Successful Is Root Canal Treatment?

About 9 out of 10 root canal treatments in Corby are successful, and you can expect to keep the treated tooth for over 10 years. If treatment is unsuccessful, the tooth will be removed, and replacement options will be offered, including dental bridges and dental implants.
