A Pain-Free Solution for Tooth Preservation

At 32 Smile Design, our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. Our experienced team at 32 Smile Design is dedicated to providing meticulous, gentle, and comfortable root canal therapy. We understand that the term “root canal” can sometimes evoke apprehension, but with modern techniques, advanced technology, and our patient-centred approach, the procedure is often no more uncomfortable than a standard filling. Trust us to deliver expert care that prioritises your comfort and the long-term health of your tooth.

A root canal, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely damaged or infected. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes damaged or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and infection. Root canal therapy involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.

During the root canal procedure, the inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed. The inside of the tooth, including the root canals, is then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped. Finally, the cleaned space is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material, preventing further infection. The tooth is then restored with a filling or, more commonly, a crown, to protect it and restore its full function.

Common signs and reasons for needing a root canal

Persistent Toothache: Especially pain that lingers after eating hot or cold foods, or throbbing pain.

Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Prolonged sensitivity, even after the stimulus is removed.

Swelling in the Gums: A tender or swollen gum area near the affected tooth.

Pimple-like Bump on the Gums: A “pimple” (or fistula) on the gums that releases pus.

Pain When Chewing or Biting: Discomfort or sharp pain when pressure is applied to the tooth.

Trauma to the Tooth: An injury that has damaged the pulp, even if there’s no visible chip or crack.

Without root canal treatment, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain, facial swelling, bone loss around the tooth, and eventually, the need for tooth extraction. Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best option for maintaining your oral health and preventing further complications.
