[EDINBURGH, 6/24/2015]—Edinburgh Dental Specialists, a multidisciplinary specialist dental centre in the UK, provides root canal treatment to restore the patient’s tooth to its full functional state. The procedure is designed to relieve tooth pain, help maintain gum health, and boost self-confidence.

The dental care centre understands that the effects of badly decayed tooth can be difficult for patients. This is why they offer root canal treatments to extend the life of a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. They carry out the procedure to prevent infection, as well.

Latest Equipment for Tooth Disinfection

Edinburgh Dental Specialists has a team of endodontic specialists that use advanced equipment to carry out root canal treatment. Small nickel titanium and stainless steel instruments are used to clean and shape the inside of the tooth, down to the tip of the roots. This allows the disinfectant to work effectively and ensure the success of the procedure.

Advanced Treatment Procedures

Dr. Carol Tait supervises the procedure, and she uses the latest surgical microscope to see inside the tooth and work to a degree of that was not previously possible. To prevent reinfection, a plastic material will be used to fill the root canal space. Then, a final visit to the dentist will involve having the crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.

Root Canal Retreatment

The dental care centre adds that they provide root canal retreatment to a tooth that did not heal as expected after initial treatment. This procedure involves reopening the tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. Retreatment removes the restoration and filling material, and then investigates the whole root system. This step is necessary to make sure that there are no spaces harbouring bacteria and no additional canals will require treatment.
