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.
Root canal infections are primarily caused by:
Untreated cavities that penetrate deep into the tooth can reach the pulp, causing an infection.
Multiple dental treatments on the same tooth can compromise its structure, leading to infection.
Cracks or chips in a tooth can expose the pulp to bacteria.
Trauma to a tooth, even without visible cracks, can damage the pulp and lead to infection.
Severe gum disease can allow bacteria to enter the root canals through the periodontal pockets.
We offer state-of-the-art root canal treatments to address infections effectively.
We start with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the extent of the infection.
To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area.
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal is cleaned and disinfected.
The cleaned canal is then filled with a biocompatible material to seal it and prevent future infections.
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.

Symptoms include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness in the gums, and discoloration of the tooth.
With modern anesthetics and techniques, root canal treatments are generally no more painful than getting a regular filling.
The duration varies, but most root canal treatments are completed in one to two visits, each lasting about 60-90 minutes.
While it’s rare, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can become reinfected. Regular dental check-ups can help prevent this.
Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid chewing hard foods that can crack your teeth, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
Monica is extremely skilled at what she does, every procedure I have had has made me look natural, refreshed and more youthful. She is very professional and gives me confidence in her abilities. The clinic is absolutely spotless and run efficiently. I have been seeing her for several years and would highly recommend her services.
To say I’m pleased with the service is an understatement, outstanding patient care and a first class service. Doctor George and Team are by far the best dental team I’ve experienced. The FACEMED facility is of the highest standard and I highly recommend that anyone looking for any dental treatment to look no further than here.
Monica is truly amazing. The results are phenomenal and very natural. Monica spends time assessing your particular facial structure and physiology and treats accordingly, always being careful to produce the best results – she provides a bespoke service and her years of experience are priceless – I travel an hour to go to her! Would highly recommend and will never go anywhere else!
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.
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.
I love my experience when visiting FACEMED. Such a relaxing, professional atmosphere. Furthermore, I look forward to seeing the results of my treatments, of which I am never in doubt. I totally recommend FACEMED for truly excellent results.
