Root Canal Treatment in Hilton
At Sleek Dental: Safe, Effective Care for Your Smile
If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, root canal treatment may be the solution you need. At Sleek Dental, we provide expert root canal therapy to treat infected or damaged teeth, relieve pain, and preserve your natural smile. A root canal is a safe and effective way to treat infections in the tooth’s pulp, preventing the need for tooth extraction.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a procedure that removes infected tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the area, and seals it to prevent further infection. This procedure helps save the tooth and restore its function, keeping your smile intact.
Common causes of tooth infection that may require a root canal include:
● Deep decay: Cavities that penetrate deep into the tooth.
● Trauma or injury: A tooth that’s been cracked or broken can lead to infection.
● Cracks or chips: Fractured teeth expose the inner tissue, which can become infected.
● Unknown causes: Occasionally, infection can occur without visible trauma or decay.
At Sleek Dental, we offer comprehensive root canal therapy with the latest techniques to ensure your comfort and the long-term health of your teeth.
Root Canal Treatment Cost
The cost of root canal therapy can vary depending on the tooth’s location and the complexity of the infection. At Sleek Dental, we offer clear pricing and flexible payment options to ensure that root canal treatment fits within your budget.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Pain and Swelling: Persistent pain or swelling around the tooth, especially when chewing or touching the affected area.
- Prolonged Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks that lingers after the stimulus is removed.
- Tenderness Upon Pressure: Pain when chewing or applying pressure to the tooth.
- Tooth Discoloration: The affected tooth may darken or discolor due to infection inside
- the tooth.
- Pus Drainage: Fluid or pus drainage from around the tooth may indicate an infection.
- Tender Lymph Nodes: Swollen or tender lymph nodes near the jaw, indicating infection.

Root Canal Treatment Process

- X-ray examination to assess the infection and plan the procedure.
- Pain-Free Procedure: We use local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
- Depending on your comfort level, we also offer sedation options to help you relax.
- Infected Tissue Removal: We gently remove the infected pulp (soft tissue) inside the
- tooth, cleaning and shaping the canal to eliminate any bacteria.
- Sealing the Tooth: Once the root canal is cleaned, we seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. In many cases, a dental crown is placed on the tooth to restore its strength and function.

No. Tooth pain can have different causes. An assessment is needed before recommending treatment.
Can root canal treatment save a tooth?

Helpful information before you book
Tooth pain, swelling or sensitivity: when to ask about root canal treatment
Root canal treatment may be discussed when the nerve inside a tooth is inflamed or infected. The right first step is an assessment so the dentist can check the tooth, discuss suitable options and explain whether root canal treatment, a filling, a crown, extraction or another option is appropriate.
- Book promptly if you have lingering toothache, swelling, pain on biting, a pimple on the gum, or sensitivity that does not settle.
- Root canal treatment is intended to help keep a suitable natural tooth, but not every painful tooth is suitable for it.
- After root canal treatment, some teeth may need a crown or other protection depending on how much tooth structure remains.
Common questions
How do I know if I need root canal treatment?
You need a dental assessment. Symptoms such as persistent pain, swelling, pain on biting or lingering hot/cold sensitivity can suggest a deeper problem, but the diagnosis depends on an examination and suitable tests.
Is root canal treatment the only option?
Not always. Depending on the tooth, options may include monitoring, a filling, root canal treatment, extraction or referral. Sleek Dental can explain suitable options after assessment.
Should I wait if the pain comes and goes?
It is better to book an assessment rather than wait for symptoms to worsen. Dental infections and cracks can become harder to manage if left too long.
