Root canal treatment

Pain when biting or chewing, when eating or drinking hot or cold food or liquids or if your tooth has become loose, could be signs that you have an infection and you need root canal treatment.

We use root canal therapy (endodontics) as an effective treatment to save a decayed or seriously damaged tooth and to prevent further damage to your teeth and jawbone, relieving any pain and discomfort and restoring the functionality of your mouth.

How this treatment works

Root canal therapy is the removal of infected pulp from the innermost part of the tooth. This prevents any infection from spreading. Your dentist will take an x-ray to check your teeth and confirm that there is bacteria in the pulp in the tooth. You’ll then be given a local anaesthetic to numb the affected area, before your dentist removes the infected tissue and gives it a thorough clean, removing all traces of bacteria. Your dentist will flush the root canals with an antibiotic solution and enlarge them before filling them. This can take a few visits and you might be fitted with a temporary crown until the process is complete. You may be offered additional antibiotics to get rid of any further infection. Your dentist will then fit a permanent crown and you will regain full use of your mouth.

Although root canal therapy has a reputation for being painful, the procedure should be no more uncomfortable than having a normal filling, and with the right oral health routine, your root canal treatment should be long lasting and durable.

The benefits of root canal therapy

At Green Park Dental we only use tooth extraction as a very last resort. Root canal treatment can help save a tooth that may otherwise have to be extracted. It also removes the infection that could spread to other areas in your mouth and will relieve any associated tooth pain.

I worked at Green park dental practice for 16 years as a hygienist and I return every 6 months for examination and always feel welcome and I was helped up and down the stairs as I am having a hip replacement in a few days and using a walking stick and felt grateful

I have always gone to Green Park and will continue to do so where possible. The staff have always been welcoming and friendly and the practice itself is lovely. My dentist Aarifa is incredible and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Emergency appointment for an abscess with Dr Aarifa Hussain. I was treated with a high level of care, patience and encouragement throughout a painful episode needing antibiotics, and abscess drainage. Dr Hussain took the extra step of following up with an after care email and 6pm phone call to check how I was doing. My subsequent treatment was delivered with the same attention to detail. She is a fantastic dentist. I completely recommend Dr Hussain.

I have been with Green Park for a couple of years now under Sherry Mowla's care, and I have to say I am most pleased. The quality of treatment and advice I have received has surpassed the expectations set by the pricing. As someone who was skeptical at first due to much less recommendable experiences at other practices throughout my years, I can happily say that you will be treated with respect and care here, at least as a patient of Sherry's.

I love the special care that is taken over my teeth, which I put down to such a great service by Robert and his team. I’m sure this is why I have not had a lot of problems with my teeth over the years and I’m always blown away by the amazing technology that helps explain what is going on. An excellent service by Robert, the dental assistant and the receptionists.
