Root canal Treatment
can your tooth be saved?
Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatments are often the most relaxing procedure we provide at Wellswood & Babbacombe Dental, commonly with our patients finding themselves nodding off in the chair!
Root canal treatment (also referred to as endodontics), is the treatment of severely broken down, inflamed or infected teeth. It is generally the last treatment option available in order to save a tooth and usually the required treatment to get our patients out of dental pain.
Benefits of Root canal Treatment
There are lots of things to consider with your treatment. During your visit to Wellswood & Babbacombe dental, your dentist will explain the benefits of all treatment options available to you as well as any aftercare needed, such as routine hygiene visits.
Pain relief

Preservation of the natural tooth
Root canal treatment allows the dentist to remove the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth and then seal it, preserving the natural tooth instead of extraction.
Prevention of further infection
Root canal treatment can prevent further infection or abscesses from developing.

We are then able to discuss bespoke treatment options and allow you to decide which treatment you think to be the most appropriate for your circumstances.
