Root canal in Ealing

This is the most common question we are asked about root canal treatment. All root canal procedures are carried out using anesthetic, which means that root canal shouldn’t be any more painful than getting a filling. However, it’s normal for the affected tooth to be sore for a few days following treatment. 

Where possible, the affected tooth will be sealed with just a filling. However, some patients are recommended to have the tooth covered with a crown. This is usually the case if the root canal has significantly weakened your tooth and there is a risk of it breaking. If you need a crown, you’ll be able to choose a bespoke variety that looks and feels like a regular tooth.

Root canal treatment is usually very successful and is the best way of saving a tooth that has a root infection. The only other viable course of action is usually to remove the affected tooth. Our specialist endodontists are committed to doing everything possible to save your natural tooth.
