Root Canal

Root canal treatment is a safe and effective way of eliminating infection from the central pulp chamber of a tooth. Pulp infections can occur when severe decay or a traumatic injury compromises the surface of a tooth.

An infected tooth can be very uncomfortable for the patient. Left untreated, an infection may spread to the surrounding teeth, gums, or bone tissue.

Procedure

Before carrying out a root canal treatment, your dentist will apply a local anaesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. They will then use a small file to clear infected tissue from the root canal.

Once the infection is gone, the dentist will thoroughly clean and disinfect the canal before sealing it with a special filling material.

Sometimes, they may apply a temporary filling at this stage and delay sealing the tooth permanently to ensure the infection is completely clear.

“Fantastic treatment at The Smile Gallery. I called for an emergency appointment after my current Dentist suggested root canal treatment, but I couldn’t start treatment for another two weeks. The Smile Gallery saw me the next day and recommended a less invasive solution. I was given an appointment a few days later, and although very nervous, they were patient and kind, and the treatment was pain-free. My tooth looks better than before, and more importantly no pain. Needless to say, I have left my previous Dentist and will see The Smile Gallery going forward. Cannot recommend it highly enough👌.” Alexandra, East Grinstead

Once the tooth is permanently sealed, your dentist will reconstruct it with a filling or a dental crown, restoring its look and functionality.

You may need a re-root canal treatment if you experience severe, persistent discomfort. Call The Smile Gallery on 01342 321 094 or click here to book an appointment.

Dr. Esen and Olivia were extremely gentle on me. I'm a big baby! Dr. Esen numbed my gum and I felt nothing more while she filled the upper tooth. Thank you.

So pleased I went to the Smile Gallery. I’ve had two veneers done with them as well as my usual check ups. Can’t fault them!

Just want to say a MASSIVE thank you too Dr Rahul and Nicole. I was in yesterday for composite bonding and I’m over the moon with my new teeth. Dr Rahul listened to exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier. Both Nicole and Rahul were so kind and reassuring💕would recommend to anyone ☺️

A colleague of mine recommended this brilliant team 👏 😀 that I can only speak highly of when it comes to their professionalism and dedication. I happen to live quite far BUT that honestly is all worth it. Dr Rahul & Dr Jaime ABSOLUTELY THE BEST 👏 👌 I know it's going to be a long journey for me but having such wonderful team will make the process less stressful. I can't thank them enough for being ever so patient, also the ever so lovely receptists whomno matter how busy they are they always welcome you with such warmth. Huge thanks for making a difference to those of us that in a way left it a bit "too late" going to the dentist.
