Root Canal Treatment Islington

At Islington Green Dental Practice, we are dedicated to saving your natural teeth whenever possible because nothing functions quite like your own teeth. Losing even a single tooth can lead to long-term complications, such as teeth shifting into the gap, misalignment of your bite, and further oral health issues. Our expert team offers endodontic treatments, such as root canal therapy, to preserve your natural teeth and restore their health.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save a tooth that has been affected by infection or inflammation in the pulp tissue. The pulp, located at the center of your tooth, can become compromised due to decay, trauma, or other factors. If left untreated, this condition may lead to significant pain, abscesses, or the loss of the tooth altogether.

During root canal therapy, the infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed, and the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed. The treated tooth can then function like a natural tooth with routine care and hygiene.

Why Choose Islington Green Dental Practice for Endodontics?

At our practice, root canal treatment is performed by Dr. Rory Mac Sweeney, our general dentist who limits his practice to Endodontics. Dr. Mac Sweeney uses a specialized dental microscope to ensure precision and success during the procedure. We prioritize your comfort, offering treatment under local anesthetic to ensure a relaxed and pain-free experience.

Our team is committed to delivering compassionate care, ensuring you feel safe and well-informed at every step of your treatment journey.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy offers a range of benefits that make it a preferred option over tooth extraction:

• Restores Tooth Health: Eliminates infection and inflammation, reducing the likelihood of recurrence.
• Preserves Natural Teeth: Saves your tooth, allowing it to function normally and maintain the natural structure of your mouth.
• Prevents Tooth Loss: Helps avoid gaps in your smile that could lead to alignment and bite issues.
• Supports Future Restorations: Treated teeth can serve as anchors for bridges or dentures, providing long-term stability.

With root canal treatment, you can maintain a healthy, functional smile without the need for more invasive procedures.

Caring for Your Root Canal Treated Tooth

After your root canal procedure, it’s important to maintain excellent oral hygiene to ensure the longevity of your treated tooth. Regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and consistent at-home care will help keep your smile in top condition.
