Root Canal

In certain situations, a tooth may require further treatment to avoid extraction. When the nerve of a tooth becomes painful or infected, it may require root canal treatment.

Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, involves removing the inflamed or infected nerve from the root canal space within the tooth. Once the nerve has been removed, the root canal space is cleaned and shaped to prepare it for a filling.After the tooth has been root canal treated, it is often weaker as tooth structure has been removed to access the nerve. In certain cases, a crown or cast restoration is indicated to prevent the tooth fracturing during normal chewing and use of the tooth.

At OB Dental, we will assess your particular situation and determine whether or not root canal treatment is necessary. If root canal treatment is required, sometimes you may need a referral on to an Endodontist (Root Canal Specialist), other times, we can carry out the procedure at OB Dental.

We always aim to complete root canal treatment in a pain-free way. Oftentimes patients actually fall asleep during the procedure!

A dental crown is a cast restoration that is made to fit over a tooth. Crowns can be made of various materials including porcelain, gold, stainless steel and other materials.

A crown may be indicated to restore the function and appearance of a tooth that has had root canal treatment, trauma, a large filling or extensive decay or fracture.

I spotted Dr. Jacqueline O’Brien advertising on The Clare Echo, booked an appointment which i had within days and I can safely say I will be recommending Jacqueline to my own friends and family in future. She was very kind and patient throughout my appointment and made me feel extremely comfortable. A super dentist and one i see using for many years to come.

I had a dental emergency and my own practice couldn’t fit me in. Jacqueline saw me at very short notice and could not have been nicer or more pleasant to deal with. Would absolutely recommend and will be switching dentists going forward
