Root Canal Treatment

Same-day root canal treatment at Pearl Dental Clinic

When the nerve of a tooth becomes infected, you can sometimes experience toothache or swelling. Root canal treatment or a tooth extraction is often required to stop the toothache, resolve the infection, and eliminate your pain. At Pearl Dental Clinic, we have provided same-day root canal treatments and tooth extractions since 2007. This private service is available both to patients registered with the practice and to new patients, seven days a week.

You can book dental appointments online 24 hours a day and if necessary have root canal treatment or tooth extraction carried out on the same day.

Specialist endodontist care

At Pearl Dental Clinic, we have an in-house specialist endodontist (root canal specialist), who carries out all root canal treatments under microscope magnification using very specialised equipment. Dr Mohsen Esfahani has extensive experience in the field of endodontics and has had extra specialist training in root canal treatment.

We also have the latest state of art 3D X-ray CBCT machine on-site which means that we know your tooth’s exact root canal anatomy before we start your treatment. The CBCT helps us to ensure that we do not miss any of your tooth’s root canals when we carry out your emergency root canal treatment.

If you need urgent root canal treatment, our emergency approach is second to none. We are pleased to help get you out of pain and your teeth back to full health even on the same day as you call us.

When is root canal treatment needed?

Root canal treatment is needed urgently when the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected, inflamed, or loses its vitality. If you need root canal treatment, you may suffer from any of the following symptoms:

Severe, sharp, dull, or throbbing pain
Swelling in your tooth, with or without pus discharge
Change in tooth colour, with the tooth getting darker
A large cavity in your tooth
An asymptomatic but infected tooth could also be picked up at a routine dental exam

How is emergency root canal treatment performed?

Stage 1 – cleaning and disinfection

Using special solutions and fine root canal treatments, the tooth and pulp are carefully cleared of decay, debris, and infected tissues. This step can be performed in one or two visits, depending on your individual case.

Stage 2 – filling and restoration

Once the tooth has been cleaned and disinfected, and you are not experiencing any more symptoms, the root canals are filled and sealed. A natural-coloured filling or crown is placed to restore the tooth to full health and function.

Frequently asked questions

: The tooth is fully anaesthetised using our painless injections protocol so no pain should be experienced. There may be some pain or discomfort after treatment that will require painkillers.
: Root filled molar teeth are six times more prone to fracture than non root filled molar teeth. Therefore, a crown placement on root filled molar (back of the mouth) teeth is strongly recommended to protect them from fracture.
: There is a high success rate for root canal treatment (approx. 80%).
: Yes, your tooth can be left, but you are at risk of having pain, an abscess, and swelling, and risk spreading the infection to the rest of the body. Infected teeth do not respond to antibiotics alone. To get rid of the source of infection, root canal treatment or tooth extraction are necessary.
: The alternative treatment is tooth extraction. We do all we can to save your natural tooth with root canal treatment before considering extraction. The options following an extraction to fill the gap are an implant, a bridge, or a denture. The gap can also be left, however the neighbouring teeth may tilt or shift.
