Does a severe toothache prevent you from functioning normally? Perhaps you have developed pulpal infection caused by the underestimation of early lesions. In such a situation, it may be necessary to carry out root canal treatment in Southampton, which could also be used in case of severe mechanical damage. Unfortunately, many people are still afraid of this procedure. Root canal treatment is usually associated with a long-lasting and painful process. Fortunately, in our clinic, endodontic treatments are carried out under a dental loupes, enabling easier detection of additional root canals or removing broken instruments.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment Southampton consists of removing not only carious lesions itself, but also the affected pulp. The dentist must reach the chamber and the canals of the tooth, clean them of decayed tissue, thoroughly disinfect and then fill the canals with a special material with sealing and antibacterial properties. In case of small cracks in teeth, the dentist proceeds to restore it using composite materials. On the other hand, large carious lesions require properly fitted prosthetic reconstruction.
In our Southampton clinic, endodontic treatment is carried out using a dental loupe. That allows for precise preparation of dental canals and conducting the entire treatment at a high level. Deep carious lesions are the main indication for root canal treatment. The anatomical structure of teeth and tooth canals is different in every person. Sometimes the canals are very narrow or curved, which makes them difficult to fill. In this situation, using a microscope is critical because it allows for performing the procedure with the highest precision.
What are the indications for root canal treatment Southampton?
Nonsurgical root canal therapy treatment is indicated primarily for deep carious lesions, pulp necrosis, fracture or dislocation of the tooth, and prosthetic indications before crown or bridge fabrication.
What are the contraindications for RCT?
There is no specific age for Hampshire root canal treatment. The treatment process of other systemic diseases is not considered a contraindication in any patient. However, there is a group of so-called “high-risk” conditions that the applied endodontic treatment may exacerbate. These include heart, joint, and kidney diseases and also immunosuppressed states.
Patients suffering from these diseases should inform the dentist about their condition before root canal treatment. Such consultation guarantees the safer performance of the service and the use of additional possible precautions, such as in-depth history or necessary tests beyond those performed at the dental center for diagnosis.
