We understand that root canal treatment isn’t something patients look forward to. It sounds painful and a little intimidating, but the truth is, it’s one of the only treatments that can save your natural tooth, and many patients report that the experience is similar to having a white filling!
Saving your natural teeth matters. So, it’s worth seeing someone who does this every day. Keep reading to find out more!
What does Special Interest in Endodontics actually mean?
Being treated by the special interest endodontist at Sarum Dental means you’re in the hands of a clinician who has chosen to hone their skills in this area. Through their studies and experience, they know the most advanced techniques and are able to treat the most complex cases with a gentle and more comfortable approach.
The special-interest endodontists at Sarum Dental have seen it all, and they know how to save infected or damaged teeth that otherwise would need to be extracted.
Signs You Might Need A Root Canal:
- Persistent pain or pressure in one specific area
- Hot/cold sensitivity that lingers
- Chewing pain
- Gum swelling or tenderness
- A tooth that has darkened or feels loose
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend contacting our dental practice in Salisbury and booking a consultation with our special interest endodontist, who can get to the root of the problem!
Here’s What To Expect When Having Root Canal Treatment in Salisbury
At Sarum Dental, your well-being is our top priority. That’s why our root canal patients can expect:
- Clear communication and explanation of the procedure.
- A gentle approach to treatment, including numbing and anaesthetising for our more nervous patients!
- Precise cleaning to remove the infected tissue within the tooth, ensuring the issue doesn’t return!
- Aesthetic and functional restoration of the tooth (often completed within one or two appointments).
Our special interest endodontist will guide you through any necessary aftercare, pain management (which is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol), and advise you on when to return for your follow-up appointment.
