At FP Dental, we aim to deliver reliable results with a truly comfortable experience for our patients.
Root Canal Treatment aims to resolve discomfort caused by nerve damage within a tooth. During two sessions, the inside of the tooth roots will be carefully cleaned and filled to prevent further inflammation or discomfort.
Why might I need Root Canal Therapy?
Symptoms that might occur when you need root canal therapy may include tooth darkening after an accident (trauma), severe pain from an infection, or a dying nerve.
Various diagnostic tests and x-rays will be performed when you see your dentist. This will determine whether root canal therapy is needed. During your consultation, your dentist will fully explain all treatment options and procedures so that you have a choice over your dental care.
What does Root Canal Treatment involve?
Two to three treatment sessions are normally required for a straightforward treatment case.
The first step is to clean and shape the root canals within the tooth to remove bacteria and decay. This is then followed by the application of an antibiotic dressing and a temporary filling.
After a few weeks have elapsed, the roots of the healed tooth will need to be repaired with a permanent filling to prevent future infection.
After their first session, the majority of our patients see a significant improvement.
Will I need any treatment afterwards?
Although root canal treatment prevents the loss or removal of the tooth, it does leave it slightly weakened. Your dentist may recommend that you have a dental crown placed to help prevent breakages.
First time here, I took my elderly father in law. All the staff were so lovely, friendly and welcoming. The practice was spotless. My father in law was very nervous as he hasn't been to a dentist for a long time. They couldn't have put him more at ease. The dentist we saw introduced himself as Bruno, and was so lovely, he explained everything, and asked if we had any questions, and didn't rush anything. I would definitely recommend this surgery to anyone looking for a dentist. Many kind thanks

My initial reservations when FP Dental took over from my original dentist were quickly allayed. Several years on, I am still completely happy with the level of service I receive from the whole team in a professional and friendly manner. In addition to Jim, I have received treatment from other dentists in the practice and remain highly satisfied.
I have been visiting this practice for years and have never been disappointed. All staff are very friendly and approachable and make visiting the dentist a pleasure! Staff are very helpful and can answer any questions in depth, taking the time to provide thorough information and explanations. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Been going to this practice for years and always had good experience. I'm incredibly nervous when it comes to visiting the dentist but they always make me feel at ease and never make you feel rushed. I've had to have quite a bit of work done recently and Jenna and Ellis were brilliant and made sure I was comfortable throughout! Wouldn't go anywhere else now.
