What is a root canal procedure?

Root canal procedures, or endodontics, is a treatment for the inner pulp of the tooth. They are performed to save teeth from extraction. The dentist or endodontist, a root canal specialist, cleans out the decayed or damaged pulp without breaking the exterior of the tooth root. The cleaned root canal is filled with a bio-compatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha. They are also performed for patients with damaged teeth caused by accidents or fractures. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete.

What are the types of root canal procedures?

Primary root canal treatments are performed using stainless steel files. Stainless steel files could remove only a small amount of infection and could easily break. The more advanced and flexible nickel titanium files do not break easily and are able to clean the entire infected area easily. Rotary instruments used to clean the root canal are quicker than manual instruments. Other advanced root canal procedures make use of ultrasound or laser to effectively clean the root canal.

Is a root canal procedure painful?

Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.

What is the recovery time after having a root canal procedures?

Patients take about three days to recover after a root canal procedure. Some patients require a week to recover from a root canal procedure.

When can I travel by air after a root canal procedure?

It is safe to travel by air one day after a root canal procedure. Patients should check with their dentist before embarking on their journey. If they feel pain or discomfort, they should postpone their journey until it abates.

What care is required after a root canal procedure?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should not eat until the anaesthetic wears off. They should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food for at least a week. They should avoid eating hard food or sticky food. If swelling occurs they should sleep with their head raised for a few days to bring it down.

What are the alternatives to root canal procedures?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

The clinic is lovely friendly kind approachable peopleKerry, UK, 09 10 24

I was told by 3 high street dentists that they would not do the procedure until I had had a series of infections and would then have to be referred back to an NHS hospital. I was told I would probably only have my top wisdom teeth out, to stop them from pushing food down into my lower wisdom teeth. I was also offered fillings on my bottom wisdom teeth, but because of where they were and how impacted they were I found it difficult to clean them. I was a private patient at all of these dental surgeries. I was also finding it difficult to book a hygienist appointment. Fast forward to Contemporary Dental! I booked in as a new patient, and had an exam and hygiene appointment in the same visit! The x-ray showed how impacted my teeth were and Mark suggested straight away we look at getting them out asap. No worries, no stress, no talk of multiple infections or fillings... I told Mark I was a bit nervous about having them out, and I realise this has been caused by previous Dentists telling me all the horror stories. I was sedated, and I woke up after the procedure. I have had no bruising, no swelling, minimal pain. I'm just shocked- they're out, I'm feeling great. I got a follow-up call the day after, which I found lovely. I have been a private patient since my dentist retired and couldn't find an NHS dentist. I have found some dentists charge you private prices for really basic care and you rarely see the same dentist. I am very happy with Contemporary Prices because they go above and beyond with their care. I also feel by paying for the extractions I had, I can now look after my teeth better. The clinic is lovely, friendly, kind, approachable people. I'm very happy with the service and care I have received and I couldn't recommend Contemporary Dentist enough. It's nice to see the same dentist/ hygienist each time and to build a relationship. A very happy patient!

She has totally changed my look, my teeth now look good to look at, I keep smilingSheila, UK, 05 07 21

I saw Dr Mitesh Badiani hoping to have implants but due to gums, I was unable. He referred me to Dr Supriti Paraskar who is making me new dentures as my old ones are not fitting correctly. So far she has veneered 4 of my teeth levelling them and closing my front gap, I cannot praise her and her assistant more top class. She has totally changed my look, my teeth now look good to look at, I keep smiling. I have found all staff very helpful, friendly and reassuring. I was happy with the price I have paid for veneers, not extortionate like you would think

They were very helpfulRobert, UK, 21 12 23

They were very helpful and informed me that new dentures would be no better than my present ones. I have to thank them for that as they could have started treatment that would have cost me a lot of money so good on them for being honest thank you.
