Root canal treatment in Northampton

Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy) is essentially a deep cleaning for the inside of your tooth. Here’s what we do…

• Numb the area: You shouldn’t feel a thing.
• Remove the infection: Gently clean out the damaged tissue and bacteria.
• Flush and seal: We’ll disinfect the canals and seal the area to prevent further infection.
• Protect the tooth: In most cases, we’ll recommend a custom dental crown to keep your tooth strong and functional for the long haul. At the end of the treatment, you’ll be out of pain and good to go!

You might require a root canal if you experience:

• Pain when chewing.
• A persistent throbbing toothache.
• Lingering sensitivity, particularly after eating or drinking something hot or cold.
• Swelling or gum abscess.

Because we may need to remove most of the inner workings of the tooth, it may technically be dead. However, it should still function like a normal tooth. So it’s still fully usable with the aid of a protective dental crown.

Nope! In fact, root canal treatment is designed to get you out of pain. A combination of modern anaesthetics and gentle dentistry means that you shouldn’t feel anything during the procedure.

You may feel slight tenderness for a few days after, but any discomfort is normally controlled with conventional pain relief.

Normally yes! Root canal treatment can leave your tooth brittle. So, a protective crown helps support and strengthen it long-term.
