Root Canal Treatments
Do you have a severe toothache? Does biting into something cold send sharp shocking pain through your tooth? You just might be in need of root canal treatment. Have you been putting off a visit to get your tooth examined? Many dental patients put off seeing the dentist for a painful tooth because they fear that they’ll be in need of a root canal procedure.
Root canals have an unearned reputation for being one of the most feared dental treatments. The truth is that a visit to your dentist today is far removed from the tales describing dental processes from even just a few short years ago.
Today, you’ll be welcomed warmly by an experience and compassionate team of dental professionals who have your comfort in mind. Root canal treatment is fairly routine. Patients should feel no discomfort during the procedure, and in fact should be a reduction in any discomfort or pain felt prior to sitting in the dentist chair.
Root canal treatments can avoid the total loss of the tooth. Saving a tooth is a much better option than needing to lose it and ultimately consider replacement options.
What is a root canal treatment?
Get results you love
There are two primary reasons for root canal treatments becoming a necessity if the goal is to reduce pain and preserve the natural tool. Root canal treatment becomes necessarily when the pulp inside of your tooth has become infected. This can happen through damage sustained directly to the tooth, or through tooth decay. Tooth damage that is minor can be repaired with a simple filling or a crown. When decay has entered the tooth, the situation becomes more problematic.
The infection can potentially spread throughout the root canal system in your mouth and can ultimately lead to the development of an abscess. Infections that enter the blood stream can become a concern.
What is a root canal treatment used to treat?
While not all toothaches will indicate that you are in need of root canal therapy, severe toothaches that cannot be helped with over-the-counter pain medications are typically indicative of needing a root canal.
Rarely there will be very few symptoms of severe tooth decay, but there are some that patients often become aware of. A toothache and pain in the gums are often signs of an infection in the tooth. The gums are often swollen and red. An abscess may form if the infection has progressed.
Swelling that extends into the cheek is a concern often seen. Discomfort when eating or drinking, particularly cold foods and drinks.
Getting the infected tooth treated will eliminate all of the discomfort felt prior to the procedure.
What are the options for an infected tooth?
It’s a good idea to consider all of your options prior to any medical or dental procedure.
-
With an infected tooth, particularly one where the infection has spread into the root canals of the tooth, you are typically faced with just two options.
-
The first option is going to be undergoing the root canal treatment.
-
The second option is going to be the removal of the tooth.
-
Extracting the tooth might be a good option to consider if the tooth is a wisdom tooth or another molar.
The best way to determine whether you’ll be able to see the results that you are hoping for is to speak candidly with our doctors. Dermal fillers like cheek fillers and lip fillers can help patients to get that youthful appearance they are after.
With your comfort being a priority, the area surrounding the infected tooth will be numbed so that you feel no discomfort during the procedure. Once you are completely numb, the procedure will begin. The decayed and damaged tooth tissue will be removed. This will provide access to the infected pulp. The pulp will be flushed out so that there is no longer any sign of the infection. The insides of the root canals will be disinfected as added security.
The root canals will now be packed with a filling material that will help to retain the overall strength and structure of the tooth. A temporary filling and crown will be placed over the tooth in order to seal it and protect it from any further damage and infection.
Root canal treatment is over 95% successful. If you have a previously treated tooth that is once again causing you discomfort, then we recommend you come in and have it looked at. Root canal retreatment is often possible if the decay has not caused too much damage.
Root canal recovery takes just a few short days. Patients can expect to feel some minor discomfort, and experience minor swelling, for up to a week.
With any procedures there are advantages and disadvantages to consider. With a root canal there are only the positives to look at. Prior to the procedure patients are often in a world of pain, and they are at increased risk for further infection and health concerns. Untreated dental infections can potentially impact heart health. What is the root canal cost?

I've been a patient at Crown Dental for over 6 years. When I was younger I played professional Rugby and lost a good number of my front teeth due to a freak-accident (knee in the face). For years I had a denture, which was a hassle to eat with. It also made me self conscious in social interactions, until I could bare it no longer. Crown Dental was recommended to me and it literally changed my life in so many ways! Over this period I had 4 implants, 5 crowns, 1 bridge and several root canals done, along with a couple of fillings and cleanings. I now have an amazing smile that all my friends and family are complimenting me about, it restored my confidence and gave me a brighter outlook on life. Thank you Dr. Erika for changing my life.

June 8, 2019I would highly recommend. As someone who hates the dentist and put off going for years, I can say that going to Crown Dental is probably the best dental experience I've ever had. I am a very nervous patient, but Dr. Joanna is a brilliant dentist who really put me at ease.

May 1, 2020Both myself and my husband have been Dr Erika's patients for over a decade. Crown dental is the cleanest, most equipped dental practice I have ever been to. Both dentists and the nurses are highly qualified and are brilliant with nervous patients. My husband had a dental implant done here with A+ results. Their prices are highly competitive but without compromising on quality. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Myself and my family has seen Dr. Erika Barta regularly. Crown Dental helped our family in many ways, we always attend for regular check-ups and cleanings. And also got implants and bridges done by Crown Dental. The staff is very helpful and professional. The environment is very relaxed, you don't feel going to the dentist 🙂 . I always recommend the clinic to my friends.

WE OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF TREATMENTS
Alternative Treatments at Crown Dental
All of our treatments and services are provided in a comfortable, spa-like clinic, designed according to high-quality standards in our clinic in Dublin 6.
Your First Visit: Step by Step Guide
Here we take you through your first visit to the dentist, step by step. We will aim to make your visits as enjoyable as possible.
Check-Ups & Consultations
Routine dental check-ups and consultations are an important part of ensuring good oral health. Taking care of your teeth, gums and general dental health starts with a dentist check-up, a consultation with a specialist, the development of a treatment plan and professional cleanings.
Dental Hygienist Treatments
Regular Professional Dental Hygienist visits are vital to your overall health. Brushing and flossing are a very important part of your good oral hygiene, but they cannot remove that stuck on tartar that can lead to decay and further infection in your gums.
White Fillings
If you are suffering with toothache you may find you have one or more cavities or decay. The only way to get relief is to get a filling on the effected teeth, otherwise the decay will only continue to expand and lead to additional concerns, as well as potential tooth loss.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns have become the standard for the protection of repaired teeth. They are durable, offer a wholly natural look, and will help to keep you smiling for many good years to come.
Inlays & Onlays
There are occasions where the decay or damage to a tooth may be too extensive to be treated with a simple filling, but not quite extensive enough to need the full-coverage of a crown. In these types of situations, the best option for tooth restoration may be to consider dental inlays or onlays.
Options for Missing Teeth
If you are missing one or more teeth, the sooner you act the better. This will avoid bone regression as well as the other teeth moving. The treatment options are dental implants, dental bridges and dentures.
THE NEW YOU STARTS HERE
Are you ready to treat that tooth?
