Root Canal Treatment

At Doncaster Dental, we understand the discomfort and anxiety associated with tooth pain. Our skilled dentists provide root canal therapy, a procedure designed to alleviate pain, preserve your natural tooth, and restore optimal dental health.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

• Root canal treatment (RCT) focuses on salvaging a badly damaged or infected tooth, preventing the need for extraction.
• Inside each tooth, there’s a central space called the root canal, which houses the dental pulp. This pulp contains blood vessels, tissue fibres, and nerves that keep the tooth alive.
• When a tooth becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or other factors, the pulp can become inflamed and painful.

How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?

1. Nerve Removal: Our gentle dentists carefully remove the painful and infected nerve tissue from the tooth.
2. Cavity Cleaning: The remaining cavity is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate any pus or bacteria.
3. Sealing the Cavity: We seal the cleaned cavity with synthetic materials to prevent future infection.
4. Restoration: After the root canal, we restore the tooth with a filling or crown.
