Root Canal Treatment
in London
Saving a decaying tooth doesn’t have to be intimidating. Thankfully, the experienced professionals at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic in London can provide the utmost quality of care to conserve your smile.

What is Root Canal Treatment?
As dental patients we all understand what it means to experience severe toothache and not always understand the reason why. Root canal pain can be caused by the inflammation or damage to the root of the tooth that ultimately leads to infection of the tooth and pulp. As our clinical priority at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic is on saving teeth wherever possible, root canal treatment presents an effective and virtually pain-free but necessary opportunity to do this.
The root canal pain and/or discomfort you may be experiencing can cause a ringing, piercing pain in the tooth or perhaps a dull, pulsating sensation. It is prudent for us to act fast to cleanse and disinfect the root canal and surrounding gums of any bacteria, fill and seal the area in order to strengthen the tooth and restore you and your teeth to the comfort and confidence of your natural smile as soon as possible.
Many patients are able to get back to normal straight away though they may experience some slight sensitivity following endodontic treatment.
Who is suitable for Root Canal?
At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, when you attend your appointment, we conduct an initial consultation with you to identify the tooth affected, discover the extent of the proposed root canal treatment required and its potential complexity and so guide our optimal choice of dental care plan for you.
If there is a good chance of saving the tooth and the patient’s oral health is otherwise in good condition, we may recommend a course of endodontic treatment such as root canal.

What happens during Root Canal Treatment?
Remember that once root canal treatment begins you will receive a local anaesthetic to numb the infected tooth and surrounding gums ensuring you experience a virtually pain-free appointment with us. In terms of pain after root canal, dental patients may only experience minor sensitivity to the tooth in question for a few days afterwards.
Here at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we can offer our dental patients video glasses so you can relax by watching a film or television show of your choice as we conduct this procedure for you. Root canal treatment can often be completed in just one visit to us so do not hesitate to book this kind of appointment designed to safeguard your smile and your health.
