Before Root Canal
When you are suffering from a damaged, infected, or painful tooth, our first priority is always to save your natural tooth rather than consider extraction. Preserving your own teeth is almost always the best option for long-term dental health, which is why we provide gentle and effective root canal treatment in Wolverhampton.
A root canal is required when the pulp inside your tooth becomes irreversibly damaged due to decay or infection. This can cause severe discomfort, but with root canal therapy, we can relieve your pain and save the tooth. The treatment involves carefully removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canal, and sealing it with a strong, durable dental material to prevent further infection. Once complete, your tooth will be restored to full function and comfort.
At Claregate Dental in Wolverhampton, we provide root canal treatment under local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Our attentive and experienced dental team will always take treatment at your pace, keeping you fully at ease. By choosing root canal treatment, you can protect your natural tooth, restore your oral health, and move forward with confidence in your smile.

Once we know you’re suitable for your root canal treatment, we will first administer a local anaesthetic to the area. Once in effect, we then remove the damaged pulp from the tooth using a series of dental files. When we are satisfied with the pulp removal, we then seal off the cavity from any further infection or interference.
Symptoms of needing a root canal are:
In any case, you should seek out a dental professional’s advice.
The pulp is the nerve tissue, blood vessels, and connective tissue that extends from the crown of your tooth to the tip of the root in your jawbone. If food and bacteria are left to build up on your teeth, they will eventually eat away at your protective enamel and reveal the more sensitive layers beneath. When these cavities are left untreated, bacteria continue to burrow until they reach and infect the pulp at the centre of your tooth.
Living with an infected tooth actually hurts far more than this reparative treatment does! Your treatment may feel a little uncomfortable, but it should not be painful after receiving the local anaesthetic and in comparison to the infected nerve tissue of the pulp.
Yes, you may receive this treatment as one of our NHS-subsidised treatments. This is partially funded by the NHS, with your subsidising the remaining balance in order to keep essential dentistry affordable.
