The sooner you see your dentist, the more likely they’ll be able to save your tooth. If your dentist diagnoses an infection of the dental pulp, they will recommend a procedure called root canal therapy.
Under local anaesthetic, your dentist will remove all the infected pulp and place a temporary filling in the gap. At a follow-up appointment, your dentist will check the infection is gone before permanently filling and sealing the tooth. Finally, your dentist will fit a crown to protect your newly repaired tooth.
Root canal therapy may also be necessary following significant trauma to a tooth, even if there is no infection present. In these cases, the intention is to prevent an infection, rather than treat one.
Root canal treatment is a common procedure and patients experience no more discomfort than a normal filling.

RESUMPTION OF FACE TO FACE DENTAL SERVICES
Dear All
As many of you may already know, face to face dental services resumed on June 8th. We have been making steady progress to return to a new normal. We have always maintained the highest standard of infection control and have continued. We have had to make some changes to the number of appointments we can offer during the day to accommodate social distancing requirements and surgery downtime during appointments. We continue to offer telephone/video triage appointments as we have found this to be very successful, as many concerns can be managed without having to attend a face to face consultation.
We are looking to move towards opening up for:
Regarding check up appointments we anticipate to role this out over the coming weeks, this will still be limited service, with patients at high risk of dental disease given priority. we are still having to cancel several check up appointments, which were booked prior to lock-down due to insufficient space within the diary. However due to changes to the way we are required to work, a scale and polish would no longer be provided as routine under the NHS. For patients who wish to have a scale and polish are still able to book with the hygienist, who are now able to return to work.
I would like to thank you all for your understanding and patience during this difficult time.
Stay Safe.
Dr Fezaan Gatrad
