Gentle & Effective Root Canal Treatment in
Hallam with iDentistry

If you’re experiencing persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the gums, you may need root canal treatment. At iDentistry, we offer gentle and effective root canal treatment in Hallam, designed to relieve discomfort, save your natural tooth, and restore full oral function.

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. If left untreated, the infection has the potential to spread to nearby tissues, resulting in bone loss, abscesses, or even systemic health problems. This is why we put strong emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment.

Our skilled dentists at iDentistry use the latest techniques and advanced technology to make sure the procedure is comfortable and stress-free for you. We also prioritise educating our patients so that you are fully aware of what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.

What is a Root Canal
Treatment?

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure that involves the removal of infected soft tissue (dental pulp) inside a tooth. It’s also known as endodontic treatment.

Root canal treatment can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

A tooth can have up to four roots containing blood vessels and nerves. During a root canal treatment, damaged or infected dental pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed. If needed, a filling or crown is placed to restore the chewing surface.

Root canal treatment is performed to save a tooth affected by decay, cracks, injury, or wear and tear—common causes of severe toothache, pus around the tooth, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, or tooth discoloration.

You may need more than one visit to your dentist or dental specialist (endodontist) for this treatment. Depending on the case, the cleaning process may take one or more appointments, followed by a filling or crown in subsequent visits. Preserving your natural tooth through a root canal helps maintain function and prevents the need for further tooth replacement treatments.
