Some people in the city of Leeds still fail to understand the destructive nature of tooth decay and its dangers to oral health. In as little as 24 hours, bacteria goes to work on destroying your teeth, leaving films of acid on the enamel, and it isn’t long before the enamel starts to break down. Now if you’ve been good and visited your dentist, an x-ray will have picked this up and you can get off with a filling. If you’ve been bad and not gone to the dentist, serious tooth decay can set in and if you don’t want to lose your tooth, then the nasty root canal treatment monster is coming to get you! But seriously, this is the only way to keeping the tooth healthy, and those around it- and forget what you’ve heard about the treatment, because it’s all rot! This treatment isn’t painful. The dead pulp has to be removed from the inside of the tooth in order to remove the roots; there are many new techniques to do this. New drills are much more refined, some dentist use lasers which cause no vibration or damage to the tooth at all and is done under a local anaesthetic. Once this has been done the tooth is restored with a crown- it wont save the tooth forever, but you will get a good 15 more years out of it.
