Root canal treatment

When a large cavity in a tooth reaches the nerve chamber, or in some cases when a tooth breaks, root canal treatment may be required. In order to save the tooth the Newcastle Dental Practice team take great care to painlessly clean and fill infected tooth canals with the most up to date rotary systems, before adding a filling material to seal them.

Within every tooth is a nerve chamber and a blood supply in the root canal. In a healthy tooth, these nerves will be alive. Front teeth will normally have one root holding them in the jaw bone, but back teeth can have two, three or four.

If a large cavity in a tooth reaches the nerve chamber, or if a tooth breaks, bacteria can cause the nerves to die. The root canals can become infected and an abscess may form beneath the root(s) of the tooth, in the jawbone. Pain may occur at any time during this process, and the infection can spread.

Treatment is usually carried out over one or two visits to Newcastle Dental Practice. The purpose of the treatment is to remove the bacteria or dying tissue from inside the tooth and to clean and disinfect the root canals. This is achieved by making a small hole through the tooth into the nerve chamber, locating and measuring the root canals, then cleaning and widening them using fine instruments. Local anaesthetic is used throughout the procedure to avoid any discomfort.

To aid the instrumentation of these intricate channels to the tooth, magnification may be used and if possible, the tooth will usually be isolated to keep the area dry and clear.

Once clean, the canals are filled to seal them off from re-infection. In most cases, infections will start to heal at this point.

Most patients only experience mild discomfort following treatment, but it is common to experience none at all.

Being reassured

27th June 2025

I followed my previous dentist with whom I have followed for over 25 years. Having now experienced several dental practices, I feel at the age of 73 I can evaluate a dental practice quickly. I visited the practice before my appointment. I was very impressed with Sophie, the service manager. Her assistants were also so genuinely welcoming. I’ve had two appointments so far and have been delighted with my service. Well done, team.

Yannis took great care in ensuring that everything was just right, and that I was completely satisfied with the fitting of the crown. He explained all the process clearly all the way through, stopped immediately I asked and although appointment ran over time, I did not feel rushed in any way.

The professionalism and care taken by the hygienist was first class as it always is at this dental practice.Explained the whole process especially as today there were changes to the standard process which actually improved the experience. In simple terms the water being used in the cleaning process was warm and not ice cold.

I don’t like going to the dentists and I was made to feel at ease all through my appointment (very important to me). The lady I saw was really good at explaining things to me, advising me and not rushing me. It was a very good experience for someone like me, making me not dread my next visit.
