At The Link Dental Surgery, we try to make the procedure as pain-free as possible and administer a local anaesthetic. After the area is numbed, our endodontist cleans out the infected chamber and sterilises it before filling the gap. Following which, a filling or crown may be fitted to protect the tooth’s structure.
A root canal treatment prevents the spread of decay from the surface of the tooth into the adjacent areas and protects the existing natural tooth
For further details about a root canal treatment, please call us on 01252 872497.
< Back to treatmentsIn line with the most recent government announcement, we wanted to update you about visiting us in the coming weeks, particularly after 19th July.
Although the Government has indicated that current restrictions regarding COVID-19 are likely to be eased from July 19th, the current restrictions and protocols will remain the same for medical settings for the time being in order to ensure continuity of service. The Chief Dental Officer of England has indicated that we are still to follow protocol from February 2021 in order to be able to provide care in a safe environment.
We are therefore respectfully requesting that you continue to wear face coverings when entering and whilst inside the practice and will continue to require you to complete COVID-19 screening forms prior to attending your appointment.
Just as a reminder, you will be required to wear face covering in the practice, use hand sanitisers and attend at the time of your appointment. Use of reception area will be very restricted to ensure social distancing, therefore we require you to wait outside or in the car if you arrive early for an appointment. Toilet facilities will also not be available to the patients until further notice, and we can still only accommodate for one parent and one child to attend together. Finally, only patients who have an appointment booked will be permitted to enter the practice.
We hope you can appreciate these measures remain in place in order to protect you, other patients as well as our staff.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation.
The Link Dental Surgery Team.
