Root Canal Infections Treatment

Dealing with dental issues can be daunting, particularly when it involves root canal infections. A root canal infection occurs when bacteria invade the innermost part of the tooth, known as the pulp, leading to pain, swelling, and even tooth loss if untreated.

At FACEMED, we specialise in providing effective root canal treatments to relieve pain, save your tooth, and restore your smile. Contact us today to schedule your appointment and take the first step towards a pain-free smile.

What Causes Root Canal Infections?

Root canal infections are primarily caused by:

Deep Decay:

Untreated cavities that penetrate deep into the tooth can reach the pulp, causing an infection.

Repeated Dental Procedures:

Multiple dental treatments on the same tooth can compromise its structure, leading to infection.

Cracks or Chips:

Cracks or chips in a tooth can expose the pulp to bacteria.

Injury:

Trauma to a tooth, even without visible cracks, can damage the pulp and lead to infection.

Gum Disease:

Severe gum disease can allow bacteria to enter the root canals through the periodontal pockets.

How Can We Treat Root Canal Infections?

We offer state-of-the-art root canal treatments to address infections effectively.

Our procedure involves:

Diagnosis:

We start with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the extent of the infection.

Local Anesthesia:

To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area.

Cleaning the Root Canal:

The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal is cleaned and disinfected.

Filling the Canal:

The cleaned canal is then filled with a biocompatible material to seal it and prevent future infections.

Restoration:

Finally, a crown or filling is placed on the tooth to restore its function and appearance.

Our experienced dentists use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure a painless and efficient treatment process.

"Fantastic dentist"

I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.

"Immaculately Clean"

I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.
