What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is a procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or infection. The aim of the treatment is to clean out the infected tissue and nerve endings from inside the tooth, before sealing it to prevent further damage.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Many patients worry that root canal treatment will be painful, however this is often not the case. During the procedure, our dentists will use local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, so you should only feel a slight pressure when the root canal is being carried out. Some patients may experience some discomfort after the anaesthetic has worn off, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol.

How long does root canal treatment take?

The length of time required for root canal treatment will vary depending on how much damage has been done to the tooth. In most cases, the procedure can be completed in one or two visits to our surgery. If you have any further questions about root canal treatment, or if you would like to book an appointment with one of our dentists, please do not hesitate to get in touch. One of the most common questions we get at The Smile Designer is about wisdom teeth removal. Many patients are unsure about whether they need to have their wisdom teeth removed, and if so, when is the best time to do it. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions that will help you decide about whether to have your wisdom teeth removed.

Do I need to have my wisdom teeth removed?

The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the position of your wisdom teeth and how much they are impacting your other teeth. Our team of expert dentists will be able to assess your individual situation and give you specific advice on whether or not removal is necessary.

When is the best time to have my wisdom teeth removed?

The ideal time to have wisdom teeth removed is typically between the ages of 16 and 25. This is because at this age, the roots of the wisdom teeth are not fully developed, which makes removal easier and less likely to cause complications. However, there are some scenarios in which it may be necessary to remove wisdom teeth at an older age. Our team can assess your individual situation and advise you on the best course of action.

What can I expect during and after surgery?

Wisdom tooth removal is typically a straightforward procedure that can be performed under local anaesthesia. During the procedure, our dentists will make a small incision in your gum line to access your wisdom teeth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be extracted in pieces. After your surgery, it is important to follow our postoperative instructions carefully to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. Most patients experience some swelling and pain for a few days after surgery, but this can be managed with medication. Overall, most patients recover from wisdom tooth removal without any major problems. If you have any additional questions about wisdom tooth removal that were not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Our team would be more than happy to provide you with more information and answer any specific questions that you may have.
