Root Canal Treatment in Bromley
Every tooth deserves a chance!
Treatment Overview
Is a toothache keeping you up all night? Throbbing pain, extreme sensitivity, or deep cavities could mean the nerve of your tooth is infected. But don’t worry—extraction isn’t your only option we have today! With cutting-edge root canal treatment in Bromley, you can now save your natural tooth and restore it to full function. Root canal treatment (RCT) is designed to be a stress-free, comfortable experience so you can protect your smile without the fear of painful drills and needles.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
The root canal is a space within each tooth that houses nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, collectively known as the tooth pulp. When the pulp becomes infected due to decay, accidents, or fractures, it can cause severe pain and inflammation.
Root canal therapy is a procedure for removing this infected or inflamed tissue from the root of a tooth (the root canal). RCTs remove infected pulp, sanitise the canal, and seal it to avoid future problems—all while keeping the tooth’s natural structure intact.
Who Can Get Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment in Bromley is appropriate for anyone having pulp injury or infection, like:
- Consistent toothaches, particularly ones that intensify at night.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweet foods.
- Swollen, sensitive gums around a sore tooth.
- A discoloured or darkened tooth as a result of damage or decay.
- A gum boil or pimple signals a tooth abscess.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Pain relief
The excruciating toothache is quickly relieved; pain relief occurs after the first step of the RCT.
Prevents the spread of infection
RCTs can limit the spread of infection, preventing it from harming surrounding teeth or jawbones.
Preserve the natural tooth and its function
This saves your natural tooth and eliminates the need for extractions.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
What happens if I avoid root canal treatment?
Ignoring an infected tooth can result in serious problems such as abscesses, jawbone damage, and tooth loss. Timely treatment, such as using RCT, is critical.
Can children undergo root canal treatment?
Yes, children can get root canal therapy if necessary. We tailor the operation and employ child-safe dental cements to meet their specific needs and offer a comfortable experience.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal methods use local anaesthetic to numb both the tooth and the gums surrounding it, ensuring total comfort. Post-treatment discomfort is mild and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The Treatment Process
Every patient’s experience is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with the Smile 4 U Dental Practice.
Consultation
Using X-rays, we evaluate the current condition of your tooth, decide the need for a root canal, explain the costs of root canal treatment, and develop a treatment plan.
Treatment
We begin by numbing the area with local anaesthesia before accessing the root canals, removing the infected pulp, cleaning and contouring the canals, and applying a temporary filling.
Happy smiles
A permanent filling and a dental crown are then employed to restore the tooth’s natural appearance—and function. Follow-up visits have been planned for review.
Unbearable toothaches should no longer hinder your life.
With Smile 4 U, root canal treatment in Bromley is now painless, quick and easy.
