Reasons you might need root canal treatment
Root canals are often necessary for patients to cure damage deep inside the tooth. When a tooth has formed a large cavity, it can sometimes reach the pulp chamber of the tooth, which is made up of fine tissue fibres, nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach the pulp chamber, the tooth’s internal structure becomes damaged and can lead to painful consequences like abscesses.
NO NEED TO WORRY
We have found that many of our London patients are worried or nervous about root canal treatment, but you should feel no pain or discomfort at all during the procedure, and it’s over relatively quickly. Here at Mint Dental, our ethos is to educate patients about the procedure beforehand, explaining why it might be necessary, the purpose of any expert intervention, and any additional procedures required.
FAST PROCEDURE
Root canal treatment removes bacteria from inside the tooth and disinfects the root canals – and while this might sound invasive, we only make a small hole through the damaged tooth to reach the pulp chamber.
We then locate and measure the root canal using tiny instruments to clean the infected area. Post-procedure discomfort is normal but manageable and short-lived. Your dentist will provide you with all the necessary aftercare tips.
Root canals traditionally do not take much time to complete (one to two hours). However, with this being said, each patient is different, and the length of the procedure will differ according to the complexity of your case. Sometimes, re-rooting or re-treatment might be necessary, which can take longer than an initial appointment.
The benefits of continuing with root canal therapy
- Quality of life is restored, allowing you to eat and chew without restrictions
- Works to preserve and save the natural structure of your tooth
- Avoids the alternative of tooth extraction and gaps in the mouth
- Once successfully completed, it lasts a lifetime (treatment success 95%)
- Keeps your smile entirely natural with no need for false prosthetics
- Effective and almost instant pain relief

“First visited Mint Dental Clinic in 2018 for an emergency root canal appointment. I’d had two root canals previously and had a continuing issue that had not been identified or fully explained. Mint referred me to their specialist, who was exemplary in his advice, treatment and help. He identified the broader context of the issue and, instead of offering just an immediate short-term fix, informed me of the long-term strategy and how to approach the problem (which involved surgery at another specialist clinic that Pratik also organised for me). A year on, thanks to Pratik and the team at Mint, a severe jaw infection has been cleared, and I am incredibly grateful for how brilliant the team were. I would definitely recommend Mint for private dental care; good rates as well!“ – Moira, London
