Root Canal Treatments
What Is A Root Canal?
Located in the root canal, the pulp is the most fragile part of the tooth as it contains vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that enable tooth growth during developmental stages. When the pulp inside a tooth becomes damaged or infected - this is where a root canal procedure comes in.
What is a Root Canal Used to Treat?
Whether you feel pain when you chew food, grind your teeth, or simply throughout the day, the pain comes from a severely infected pulp. Root Canals refer to disinfecting the roots of a tooth in order to repair and/or save the infected and damaged tooth that otherwise would have to be extracted.
Warning Signs - Do I need a Root Canal?
Sensitive teeth that linger from hot or cold items
Severe pain while eating or chewing
Small pimples near the gums of the infected tooth
Other teeth that are chipped and/or crack
Swollen and sore gums
Dark gums
How Often Should You Go For A Dental Checkup? Answer : At least every 6 months
If there are any problems that require surgical operations those would be booked as separate appointments and should not count towards one of your regular dental check-ups.
Root Canal - Treatment Process
If you are experiencing severe or slight pain while chewing, a sensitivity that lingers to warm or cold items and/or consistent pain in the mouth, it might indicate it’s time to visit your local dentist to get your tooth checked. Without treatment, the infection is only susceptible to spread, causing further damage to your tooth. Even if you experience minor pain, we recommend coming in for an appointment to ensure we can save the tooth before it’s too late.
Instead of a root canal, one can have the tooth extracted and instead replaced with an implant, bridge, or partial denture. This alternative is often more expensive and invasive and may even require a longer process and recovery.

Approximately a Month ago I rang Dr Susan Crean Dental Practice as well as a few other Practices to replace a filling that I had previously on my tooth but they were fully booked out and I ended up getting an appointment at a Dental Practice in Boherbee . After going in there I was in and out in less than 20 minutes ( No X-ray no nothing a patchy job just to take €120 and good luck. ( Never again in this place if it is the only dental practice in Tralee ) Yesterday booked an appointment With Dr Susan Crean to redo it again as I had been in pain ever since. Got booking for 2 pm today after filling the form I was even asked if I did eat because over numbness I wouldn’t be able she said which it was very kind of her caring for her patient. Got an X-ray done Dr Susan and her assistant explained everything what was to be done before hand and they made sure they did exactly what they needed to be done. I was even brought back an hour later to make sure everything was fine and have cleaning done too. I’m booked in again on Monday for a second check up to make sure all is ok and so on. The professionalism is 10 out of 10 and the way the client is looked after is a huge plus. I couldn’t recommend Dr Susan Crean Practice enough. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a really caring Dentist. Thank you very much everyone from the receptionist to Dr Crean and her assistants who are doing an exceptional job.
