Endodontics

At Lyndhurst Dental Practice, we understand that toothache caused by infection can be extremely uncomfortable and unsettling. Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a highly effective way to relieve pain, save your natural tooth and restore your oral health. Our experienced dentists use gentle techniques and modern equipment to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

A root canal may be needed when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or a deep filling. Without treatment, the infection can spread, potentially leading to an abscess or even tooth loss. Root canal therapy works by carefully removing the infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the canals, and sealing the tooth to protect it from further problems. Root filled teeth are vulnerable to splitting so in most cases the tooth needs strengthening with either a cusp covered restoration or crown to reduce this risk.

At Lyndhurst Dental Practice, we understand that many patients feel anxious about the idea of root canal treatment. Our friendly team takes the time to explain every step, answer your questions, and provide reassurance throughout your visit. With the aid of advanced dental technology and a gentle approach, we make the experience as stress-free as possible. By choosing root canal treatment in Bath with us, you can avoid unnecessary extractions and enjoy the long-term benefits of keeping your natural smile intact.
