Root Canal Treatment in Dagenham
Save Your Natural Tooth with Root Canal Treatment
At Becontree Dental Studio, we provide root canal treatment in Dagenham to help treat infection inside a tooth and preserve your natural teeth wherever possible.
Root canal treatment involves removing infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them to reduce the risk of further infection.
Our dentists will assess your tooth, explain your treatment options and help you understand what to expect before proceeding.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
Symptoms can include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling around a tooth or a dental abscess. Sometimes a tooth requiring root canal treatment causes no noticeable symptoms.
An examination and appropriate X-rays are needed to establish the cause and determine whether root canal treatment is suitable.
What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?
Examination and diagnosis: Your dentist assesses the tooth and discusses the available options.
Local anaesthetic: The tooth is numbed to help keep you comfortable.
Cleaning the canals: The infected or inflamed pulp is removed and the canals are carefully cleaned and shaped.
Sealing the tooth: The canals are filled and sealed. Treatment may require more than one appointment.
Final restoration: A filling or crown may be recommended to protect the treated tooth, depending on its condition.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs
1. Is root canal treatment painful?
Root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic to help keep you comfortable. Some tenderness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days.

Treatment time depends on the tooth and the complexity of the root canals. Some treatments can be completed in one appointment, while others require two or more visits.
3. Can root canal treatment save my tooth?
Root canal treatment can often save a tooth that would otherwise need extracting. Your dentist will assess the condition of the tooth and discuss the likelihood of successful treatment.
4. Will I need a crown after root canal treatment?
A crown may be recommended, particularly for back teeth or teeth that have lost significant structure. Your dentist will advise whether a filling or crown is most suitable.
