Root Canal (Endodontics)
in Tamworth

Save Your Infected Teeth With Endodontics

Root canals (falls under the endodontic category) is a procedure that is used on teeth that are badly infected (to the pulp) and maybe needing an extraction, but in an attempt to save them, a root canal might be performed. A badly infected tooth will require the infection and decay to be cleared out, for the teeth to be saved.

I contacted Ascent Dental Care after my general dentist advised me that I needed root canal treatment, which they would be unable to carry out. I was looked after by Jesal, who put root canal fillings into 3 of my teeth, which was not a straightforward procedure, as they were crowned front teeth, and 2 of the crowns were some 25 years old. I can only say that he did an excellent job. He explained everything very thoroughly to me beforehand, and I was truly amazed at how little discomfort I felt when the work carried out. He is a really nice guy, who puts you totally at ease, and the nurses, reception and admin staff are all very friendly, polite and efficient.

I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent dental practice.

How Does The Pulp Become Infected?

If tooth decay sets in (causing cavities), it can make its way to the pulp if left untreated.

How To Stop The Need For Having a Root Canal?

By attending regular check ups to the dentist, we will be able to examine your teeth and ensure any potential problems are picked up early, and treated before the need for a root canal. Any cavities that are picked up early will be easier to treat with fillings, rather than letting bacteria reach the pulp.

If you already have cavities but there is no pain as of yet, it is always recommended to don’t leave them till you start to feel sensitivity or pain, as these are all signs that bacteria are getting close to the nerve of the tooth.

I got recommended by a family member to come here and it was honestly the best decision I’ve made! The whole team are just amazing. Jay is absolutely wonderful! Such a caring, attentive and thorough dentist who makes me feel so heard and looked after whilst I’m with him. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend this practice if you’re looking for first class treatment 😊

Extractions Vs Root Canals

This does depend on how bad the tooth infection is, but as a rule of thumb, extractions are always our last resort, as nothing will ever compare to your natural teeth.

Comfortable and Pain-Free

Root canal treatment has a reputation as one of the least comfortable dental treatments. But things have changed.

How Long Is The Procedure?

The length of time it takes to treat your tooth will depend on how complex/severe your case is. Some of the factors involve:

Where the tooth is
How many teeth are being treated
How many affected roots to be treated
If the roots are curved

We will be able to give you a more accurate idea of treatment time once we have seen you for a free consultation.

Is The Procedure Painful?

The treatment area will be carefully numbed before we proceed with the root canal. However, because of the nature of the procedure (treating the nerve), there will be some slight discomfort. We will always go at a slow pace to ensure that any discomfort is left to a minimum.

If you are a nervous patient and would prefer to have sedation with the treatment, we are able to offer this too.

My daughter needed braces so after reading reviews about Ascent Dental Care I decided to book a first appointment.

It was 19 months ago.

My daughter had her braces removed last month and the result is superb! It exceeded her expectation.

The care is amazing.

All staff at reception make you feel really welcome and genuinely care about the clients.

Karen Sally

I am a nervous patient and recently have had a fair amount of much needed dental work carried out at Ascent dental care in Tamworth. Everyone at the practice from the women on reception to the 3 practitioners I have had treatment from have been amazing. They have all made me feel respected, reassured and safe, the care and quality of treatment from the practitioners has been excellent. They have explained everything very clearly and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Also, I can honestly say that the treatment has been painless. I will never look forward to visiting the dentist but I am much more reassured that I will be taken care of and my dental care is in the safest and most professional hands!

Gosia Ossowska

Would recommend 110%. I found the clinic based on the proximity to my house and Google reviews. Extremely good experience (especially considering you’re going to the dentist office!). I was booked for an emergency visit with Dr Jesal Savania, whom I would highly recommend. I had a wisdom tooth removal, which I didn’t expect to happen on the day of the visit. I had a similar procedure done 10 years ago, which was very painful and traumatic. Dr Savania is a compassionate, professional dentist who calmed me down and he did the procedure in record time, with absolutely no pain. I came back to Dr Savania a few weeks after for a general check up – he is probably the best dentist I have been too and will definitely go back.
