The nerves within a tooth can become infected if it has been damaged extensively due to decay or trauma for example.
- An effective way of saving these teeth is by disinfecting and cleaning out the nerves in the root canal and then sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
- A crown may be required after the root canal to support the tooth and create a final seal around the tooth for the long term.
- Root canal treatments are complex and should never be rushed.
- At Odiham Dental Care we use single use nickel titanium rotary files which safely and efficiently clean the infected nerve.
- The teeth treated are isolated prior to cleaning the root canal to maintain sterility and ensure safety for our clients.
- Accurate electronic measurements are taken to ensure the best results.
