The root canal is a space under each of your teeth that contains blood vessels and nerves. If the root canal gets infected it can lead to a build up of puss, which causes pain and swelling. This can damage the bone around your teeth.
An infected root canal may lead to gum disease, which can in turn lead to heart disease. For this reason an infected root canal should be treated as soon as possible.
Root canal treatment used to be very painful, but that’s no longer the case – if you select the right dentist. I had reason to do this recently. I’ve learned (the hard way) that all dentists are not created equal, and when it comes to something as important as a root canal, a good dentist is worth his/her weight in gold.
If you live in or around the Battersea area of London, I strongly recommend you call SW Smiles. Especially if you need root canal treatment, and desire a friendly and pain free experience! These guys are very very good.
i can attest to the fact that root canals don’t have to be terrible. my dentist was able to pull it off without any pain at all.
Nice presentation of the pulp and root canal treatment. Thank you
