Life changing root canal treatment in Sutton!
Root canal treatment is designed to save a severely infected tooth. When bacteria reach the tooth’s inner pulp, it causes severe pain and swelling. If left untreated, this infection can lead to abscesses and tooth loss. Root canal treatment removes the infected area, disinfects the tooth canal, and seals the tooth, preventing further infection.
Many people believe that root canals are painful, but with modern techniques and anaesthesia, the procedure is nearly painless.
What are the signs I may need root canal treatment?
- Persistent toothache that worsens over time
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swollen gums
- Pain when chewing or applying pressure

Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?
In the event a tooth is infected or decaying, root canal treatment is the last option to save the tooth. It is always better to keep your natural teeth if possible.
Keeping your natural teeth avoids the need to undergo more expensive and comprehensive treatment such as dental implants.
If you are suffering from tooth infection you may not notice it at first. However, if left untreated, the infection will lead to pain and swelling.
Finally, the tooth may need to be removed. If a tooth is missing, it can cause the neighbouring teeth to move out of position.
