You\u2019re not alone in thinking that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there\u2019s a common misconception that root canal treatment is something to dread. In reality, modern dentistry means the procedure can be carried out comfortably with local anaesthetic, and its purpose is to relieve pain rather than cause it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also hear your dentist refer to root canal treatment by its clinical name: endodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what exactly is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\uddb7 Endodontic treatment is used when the soft tissue inside a tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen as a result of decay, cracks, trauma or previous dental treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\uddb7 During treatment, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the root canals are sealed to help protect the tooth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\uddb7 The aim is to save your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you\u2019ve been putting off treatment because you\u2019re worried it will be painful, it\u2019s worth talking to your dentist. Leaving an infected tooth untreated can lead to increasing pain and further problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To discuss root canal treatment at CrownWood Dental, please contact Lisa Bonello, our Patient Care Co-Ordinator on \u260e\ufe0f 01344 300 417 \ud83d\udcf107765 333 768 or \ud83d\udce7 <a href=\"mailto:pc@crownwooddental.co.uk\">pc@crownwooddental.co.uk<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think root canal treatment sounds painful?
