Neglecting the symptoms associated with the root canal infection may result in the removal of your tooth, or even more severe health issues. Seeing a dentist can prevent the problems at an early stage and save your tooth.
An infected tooth may cause a severe toothache, but many other factors can indicate an infected pulp (the centre of your tooth). Other symptoms may include, but are not limited to:
Your dentist will remove the bacteria from your tooth by cleansing its canal. To lower the sensitivity during the treatment, you may be given a local anaesthetic for your comfort. After the cleansing of the canal, your dentist will close and seal it with the required method to avoid any new bacteria from re-entering.
To avoid any new damage, it is vital to maintain good oral health and hygiene both at home and with regular check-ups at the dentist.

“The staff at Kent Smile Studios are highly professional. I required Route Canal Treatment and Dr Xi Ng after making the diagnosis explained the four options that I had. 1:...”Do nothing. 2: Have Route Cannal Treatment at Kent Smile Studios in Maidstone. 3: See a Specialist. 4: Have the tooth extracted. After careful consideration of the options. I chose Option 2. Dr Xi Ng is a highley qualified professional lady who clearly has demonstrated the professional skills and knowledge that is required to carry out, this complex procedure and her approach and that of her associate, can only be described as both exemplary and above and beyond the call of NHS Dental Duity. In other words. I can not recommend her services highley enough. A five star rateing, is the absolute very minimum that this establishment should be given and what I am advocating heare, is that this rateing is far to low. It should be far higher. Thank You for your professional services, they are very much appreciated.”
“Very helpful and disgust the treatment they are going to do, and advise you on what you should do to protect your teeth.”
