If a tooth or teeth get infected, then root canal treatment is a long-lasting solution and a fantastic option for many people. Our dentists in St Helier are experienced practitioners that can remove the infection and install a root canal, which is often a permanent fix if they are cared for correctly. Root canal treatment or therapy (endodontics) can save an infected tooth from needing to be extracted and also stops the infection in its tracks. The treatment involves removing the infected pulp from the innermost part of the tooth. The pulp is made up of soft tissue, including nerves and blood vessels, and extends from the crown to the tips of the root. Damage to the pulp is normally caused by decay, a deep filling or trauma to the tooth. Symptoms can include pain, increased sensitivity to temperature, discolouration of the affected tooth, a metallic taste, gum tenderness or swelling. Root canal therapy usually requires several appointments and at our Saint Helier surgery, it will depend on the type of tooth being treated. When the custom tooth has been prepared, it will be covered and temporarily restored until the next appointment. Like any dental treatment, it is so important that you look after your teeth to ensure it stays healthy and in good condition. Make sure you keep on top of brushing and flossing your teeth properly, to ensure they stay in great condition. If looked after properly, your root canal treated tooth should remain trouble-free. Even though the pulp has been removed, the tooth will stay intact as the canals have been sealed and re-infection prevented. Regular check-ups are recommended so any problems can be detected early. At our friendly dental practice in Sutton and Morden, we have a team of dentists that have years of experience performing high-quality root canals. With an array of qualifications, our expert dental practitioners can offer you a professional service, to ensure you have a smile you are proud of. We understand the importance of experiencing a great service and receiving sage advice and we strive to offer this to our patients, in the Saint Helier area. To learn more about root canal treatment visit our local St. Helier Dental Surgery, or contact us. You can also register with us if you are looking for a local and reliable dentist and are searching for great treatment in the Morden and Sutton area. A local anaesthetic will be used to numb your teeth and gums to avoid pain during the treatment. Root canal treatments take 30 to 60 minutes, unless it’s a complex procedure which can take around 90 minutes. Two appointments are usually required for this type of procedure. Root canal treatment can prevent an infected tooth from needing to be extracted and stops the infection. The infected pulp will be removed from the tooth. It is generally recommended to keep the tooth as long as you take care of your dental hygiene afterwards. This removes the need for more treatment. Yes, after the treatment the tooth is dead and there will no longer be any pain due to the removal of nerve tissue.

What People Say…
Lisa Lambert 2021-11-22 Verified The smiling reception is always professional and friendly and I was so pleased when my Dentist, Dr. Deval, took time to inform me of my choices which were best for me personally. A refreshing change.
A smashing Dentist, Tuba and her lovely assistant Sanju have taken over from Dr Deval.
Tuba, cares about her patients and works towards them keeping a healthy smile, she's a credit to the Dentist profession as is her assistant Sanju.
She got rid of an abscess painlessly and on my next appointment she miraculously saved my tooth for which I am so grateful.
Valentina and Sarah who work on the reception desk are always welcoming and very helpful.
Many thanks to a great Dentist and her team.

Pavel Jagodzinski 2021-10-10 Verified I'm so grateful for all the effort and support during my two visits with Dr Tuba Pishgharavol at St Helier Dental Surgery in Morden. Dr Pishgharavol is really a professional, and at the same time showed her passion and commitment in very complicated a root canal treatment. However, all other staff is very polite, friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this dental practice to my friends.
