Save Your Natural Tooth with Root Canal Treatment in Droitwich

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is used to treat teeth where the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels) has become infected or inflamed. Without treatment, the tooth would usually need to be removed.
At Droitwich Dental Studio, root canal treatment is carried out with precision and care to remove infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth wherever possible. Our experienced dentists are specially trained to perform this intricate procedure safely and effectively.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment involves removing the infected or dying nerve from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the space to prevent further infection.
The nerve sits in the centre of the tooth and extends into small canals within the roots. When the nerve becomes damaged due to deep decay, trauma, large fillings, or gum disease, root canal treatment is the only way to save the tooth.
The procedure allows the tooth to remain in place and continue functioning normally, often with success rates exceeding 90%.

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

Modern root canal treatment should not be painful. Local anaesthetic is used to ensure the procedure is comfortable, and many patients report feeling relief from pain once the infection is removed.
Our team will not proceed unless you are fully numb and comfortable throughout the treatment.

Why Choose Root Canal Treatment Over Extraction?

Root canal treatment is always preferred where possible because it allows you to keep your natural tooth. Removing a tooth can lead to further treatment such as implants, bridges, or dentures, whereas root canal treatment preserves your existing tooth structure.
By saving the tooth, you maintain natural biting function, prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting, and avoid more complex restorative procedures.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment may be required when the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. Common signs include:

Severe or Persistent Tooth Pain

Ongoing or intense tooth pain, particularly when biting or applying pressure, can indicate infection or inflammation within the tooth.

Prolonged Sensitivity to Hot or Cold

Sensitivity that lingers after exposure to hot or cold temperatures may suggest damage or infection of the tooth’s nerve.

Swollen or Tender Gums

Swelling, tenderness, or redness in the gums near a tooth can be a sign of infection spreading from the tooth root.

Darkening or Discolouration of a Tooth

A tooth that appears darker than surrounding teeth may indicate nerve damage or internal infection.

Dental Abscess or Pus-Filled Swelling

An abscess is a serious sign of infection and may appear as a swelling on the gums or near the tooth root.

Persistent Bad Breath or Unpleasant Taste

Ongoing bad breath or a bad taste, even with good oral hygiene, can be caused by infection inside a tooth.

Loose or Unstable Tooth

A tooth that feels loose without obvious cause may indicate damage to the supporting structures due to infection.
