Root Canal Treatment in Sevenoaks

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat problems affecting the soft tissue inside a tooth. Treatment may be recommended when the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected as a result of decay, dental trauma, cracks or other damage.

At Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre, we provide root canal treatment for suitable patients in Sevenoaks and the surrounding area. Our aim is to help treat the affected tooth and, where possible, preserve your natural tooth.

If you have toothache, sensitivity, swelling or other symptoms that may indicate a problem inside a tooth, a dental assessment can help identify the cause and determine whether root canal treatment may be appropriate.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Inside each tooth is a soft area known as the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. If the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it may cause pain or other symptoms.

Root canal treatment involves removing the affected tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning and preparing the root canal system, and then sealing the treated space.

The purpose of treatment is to address the problem inside the tooth while helping to preserve the natural tooth where this is possible.
