Precise Root Canal Care With A Dental Microscope

Inside every tooth is a network of narrow canals that hold the nerve and blood supply. When that tissue becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment removes it, cleans and disinfects the canals, and seals the tooth to help prevent reinfection. Some of these canals are extremely small, which is why magnification matters.

Why we use a dental microscope

Dr. Jack Golos treats complex root canals using a dental operating microscope. It provides bright light and high magnification, making it easier to locate hidden or curved canals, spot cracks, and clean the tooth thoroughly. For many patients, that means difficult cases can be treated right here in Guildford.

Signs you may need a root canal include:

lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
a toothache when chewing or biting
swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth
a pimple-like bump on the gums
a tooth that has darkened in colour
a deep cavity, crack, or injury to a tooth

Microscope-assisted treatment can be especially helpful for molars with complex anatomy, teeth with narrowed or calcified canals, and teeth that need retreatment after a previous root canal. Treatment is done under local anaesthetic, and many patients find it feels similar to having a filling placed.

After a root canal, a back tooth often needs a crown to protect it from breaking. Your dentist will explain every step before you begin. You can also learn more about root canal treatment.
