What is a Root Canal?

When a large cavity in a tooth penetrates the nerve chamber, or in certain situations when a tooth fractures or becomes non vital (dead) because of dental damage, root fillings or root canal procedures are required. Root filling entails removing germs and diseased or dead nerves from within the tooth, followed by cleaning and sanitising the root canals before filling them to seal them.

In the root canal of every tooth, there is a nerve chamber and a blood supply. These nerves are usually active in a healthy tooth. Front teeth typically have one root that anchors them in the jaw bone; however, rear teeth might have two, three, or four.

Bacteria can lead to nerve death if a large cavity in a tooth enters the nerve chamber. The root canals can get inflamed, and an infection can develop in the jawbone under the root(s) of the tooth. Pain (which can be severe at times) can happen during this phase, and the infection can progress.

What is the course of action? +

Treatment is often administered over one, two, or three appointments, with additional visits on occasion. The therapy aims to remove germs and decaying tissue from within the tooth and clean and sterilise the root canals. This is achieved by creating a tiny hole into the nerve chamber, identifying and quantifying the root canals, and then cleaning and enlarging them with micro equipment. To alleviate any discomfort, a local anaesthetic is administered during the surgery.

Magnification helps in maneuvering the instrumentation of these complex channels to the tooth, and the tooth is typically isolated if feasible to ensure the region is dry and clean. The files employed to clear the root canals are single-use, and a fresh, new set of files is used for every patient.

After cleaning, the canals are covered to prevent re-infection. Most infections will begin to recover at this stage.

Many individuals report relatively minor discomfort after treatment, although it is possible to feel nothing. Endodontics is the unit of dentistry that deals with root canal procedures.

‘Changed my life’ From the second I walked into North lane I felt completely at ease. From the girls at reception to my incredible dentist Hema. I desperately wanted to improve my smile which has been an insecurity of mine since my teenage life and opted for an initial treatment of Invisalign. This in itself had the most incredible results leaving my teeth completely straight. After my final treatment of composite bonding to both top and bottom my teeth are absolutely perfect. I cannot thank North Lane dentist enough and would recommend anyone to choose them to change there smile forever. Thank you to the whole team

I had my composite veneers done nearly a year ago now, and this has completely boosted my confidence and my self esteem!!! Hems has been absolutely fantastic, she takes amazing care and takes deep thought into what your desired results are, and recommends what shape/shade would suit you best. I wouldn’t ever recommend anywhere else, it’s the best thing I have ever done. I am so confident now, and it’s made me love my smile

I have been looking for such a long time for a new dentist and for the right place to have my composite bonding done. The team here have been so helpful from the offset and I could not recommend them enough. If you are looking for a dental practise or for cosmetic dentistry then they certainly are the place to get in touch with.
