Root Canal Treatment in Preston


It’s Not Just a Pain in the Tooth…
Dental pain is never a welcome addition to your smile. But if you’re experiencing severe discomfort, your body is telling you there’s an issue.
Dental infections cause so much pain you may struggle to eat, sleep, work, or enjoy life. You may try to ignore the problem, but it will worsen. A root canal treatment is the solution.
At XO, our precision care and commitment to the highest service standards mean you’re in the best hands for your root canal treatment. During every step of your treatment journey, we’re here to ensure maximum comfort.

The Root Cause
The bonding process is simple but provides astonishing results. We use a special tooth-coloured resin to reshape and improve the appearance of You have living cells, connective tissue, and nerve endings inside every one of your teeth. This is known as “dental pulp”. It’s found in the “pulp chamber” and in the root canals, which channel deep into your jawbone.
If your tooth is damaged due to injury or decay, bacteria may get inside and infect the pulp. Soon, inflammation occurs. This is your body’s natural response in the fight against infection. As inflamed tissue presses against the nerve endings, you’ll experience considerable dental pain.
This could arrive alongside symptoms like:
- Swelling in the gums and cheeks
- Pus around the bottom of the tooth
- Your tooth appears grey or black
- Severe sensitivity in your teeth and gums
- Bad breath
- A bad taste in your mouth


Stop the Spread
Infections spread without treatment, and infected root canals are not immune. As a dental infection progresses, it will kill the tooth before moving on to other parts of the mouth. This could affect neighbouring teeth, your gums, and your jaws.
If an infection reaches your bloodstream, it can spread from your mouth and lead to sepsis, causing potentially fatal organ dysregulation.
A root canal is the most effective way to remove an infection and save a tooth. This routine procedure has a high success rate and can instantly eliminate severe dental pain.


The Root Canal Treatment
Before removing the infection, we need to assess your tooth. X-rays help us get a clearer view of what’s happening beneath your tooth’s surface.
We’ll provide an anaesthetic so you feel comfortable throughout. Once ready, we’ll remove all the infected matter and sanitise the tooth. A latex-like material called gutta percha is then used to fill the inside of the tooth, and the outer surface is repaired with a filling.
We can add a dental crown at a later date. This protects the tooth from future infections.
