Root Canals in Neston, Wirral

A root canal treats an infected tooth by removing its inflamed pulp, cleaning, and sealing it to prevent further issues. This procedure alleviates pain and saves the tooth. Contact us for more information.

No More Pain

For a deeper understanding of root canal treatment, it’s crucial to comprehend the anatomy of a tooth. A tooth is comprised of various layers.

Externally, it’s encased in a protective layer of enamel – the visible portion. Below the enamel, there’s a significantly dense layer known as dentin. At the core of the tooth resides the pulp, a soft tissue filled with blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. This pulp extends from the crown (the part visible above your gums) all the way to the tips of the roots. Larger teeth can have multiple roots, and the pulp channel runs through each of these roots.

All About Root Canals

Why You May Need A Root Canal

In the past, pulp infection or inflammation—caused by dental decay, tooth damage like cracks or chips, repeated dental work, or accidental injury (even without visible external signs)—would lead to tooth extraction. This often resulted in an unattractive gap or necessitated the cost of a bridge or denture replacement.

Today, we have the ability to save the affected tooth. This is achieved by excising the pulp, ensuring all bacteria are eradicated, and meticulously filling the resultant void. The tooth’s strength and functionality are typically restored with a crown, keeping your smile intact.

A tooth root is very small and the treatment is intricate. While the cost of the treatment might be higher compared to extractions, it is generally still more economical than the expense associated with replacing a lost tooth.

Debbie Singleton

Having avoided the dentist for too long I chose Redcliffe because of the It's Been a While section on the website. Everyone from my initial contact with the reception team, my first appointment with Claire, root canal with Tom and visit to Jay the hygienist has been reassuring and provided excellent care. Would highly recommend Redcliffe.

Roy H

Having had a dental phobia for 50+ years, I was terrified on my first visit to Redcliffe. They have been completely brilliant, with their care, patience and expertise, and have completely restored my smile, just in time for my daughter's wedding. For the first time in decades, I've been able to smile and laugh without any embarrassment. I can't thank Massie enough and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I just wish I could have done this years ago! Don't hesitate, they're just fantastic!
