🦷 What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is a procedure used to treat infection inside a tooth and save it from being removed.

It involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further problems.

Despite its reputation, it’s designed to relieve pain - not cause it - and is usually no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.

If you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, it’s always best to get it checked early.

😁 If you’re thinking about brightening your smile, professional tooth whitening can help you feel more confident for those big moments.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment designed to lighten the natural colour of your teeth—often by several shades—without removing any tooth surface.

In the UK, tooth whitening is considered the practice of dentistry and should only be carried out by a registered dental professional to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you.

At The Dentist Balham, we’ll always assess your suitability first and talk you through your options—so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

✨ Because feeling confident in your smile can make every moment that little bit brighter
