Root canal therapy is often the last chance to save an infected tooth. We aim to make it no scarier than a simple filling.

This highly specialised branch of dentistry often has a bad reputation. However, at Silk Dental, we aim to make root canal therapy a simple and stress-free experience.

How does the root canal treatment work?

Root canal treatment is used to treat a tooth that has been infected with bacteria or damaged by deep decay. Your dentist will expose the dental pulp and use small tools to remove any infected material. The tooth root is then filled and capped with a crown to help strengthen and protect it.

Do I need a root canal treatment?

You may need root canal therapy if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • Toothache
  • Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold food and drink
  • Pain when biting
  • Discolouration
  • Swelling

A visit to the dentist will confirm if you require root canal treatment or another treatment.

Does a root canal hurt?

With adequate anaesthesia, the procedure of a root canal does not hurt.  The dentist will ensure you are properly numb prior to the procedure and ensure you are comfortable throughout your treatment. If you are particularly nervous about the procedure, we can offer conscious IV sedation to help you feel more relaxed.

As a very nervous patient of the dentist I was SO lucky to have found Dr Farhana Ali and Amelia, her Dental Nurse. I can’t begin to express how caring and professional they both are. I highly recommend them and thank them both for their kindness and understanding on each of my visits to Silk Dental. Also thanks to the friendly and helpful receptionists.

Really good practice, friendly and understanding staff. Really good with nervous patients like myself. The most lovely dentist who offered the sedation I needed when refused by so many others. Thank you. I’m glad I finally found you.

I’ve recently joined Silk Dental and wanted to say a massive thank you to the team for looking after me and getting my teeth sorted. From my initial checkup up with Dr Farhana and later appointment to get a filling sorted my teeth are now looking and feeling so much better. Special thanks to Dental Therapist Liliya and nurses Sophie and Beckie also, it’s so comforting to have found a professional and welcoming dental practice, I’d recommend Silk Dental to anyone, they are the best dentist I have been to.

Excellent practice. Was seen to by Dr. Farhana and Amelia. Dr Farhana was easy to speak with about my concerns and provided wonderful advice. I was kept informed through the procedure. Highly rate Silk Dental.

Just wanted to feedback about the level of service and care I received today at Silk dental. It was absolutely exceptional, the dentist and technician both made me feel at ease, not judged listened to my concerns and offered a treatment plan that would hopefully seek to return my teeth to a point of health. The other thing I’d like to point out is the investment in the practice itself - it’s a beautiful space, and so inviting, rather than obviously clinical. All the staff were friendly and patient, and the communication throughout from the initial conversation about re-joining to the helpful reminders left in voicemails, to everything being in an App- just such a pleasurable experience- especially considering the anxiety I had built about going to the dentist. So a massive thank-you to all
