Managing NHS Capacity & ICB Guidelines

As you can imagine, we have been inundated with requests for NHS dental care across the region. While our goal is to care for as many patients as possible, we are currently required to follow the clinical allocation and prioritisation framework set by the Integrated Care Board (ICB).

We are continuing to work closely with the ICB to explore every opportunity for additional NHS provision so that we can expand access to as many residents as possible over time.

Current Appointment Prioritisation

In strict accordance with ICB guidelines, available appointments are currently being prioritised for:

• Patients experiencing acute dental pain or urgent dental problems
• Children aged 16 years old or younger

How to Book Urgent & Child appointments

To manage demand fairly and effectively, urgent appointments are released one week in advance. These can be booked online, by calling the practice team, or by visiting us in person.

The post Advantages of root canal treatment appeared first on Genix Healthcare.

The process of delivering root canal treatment involves several steps, starting with an accurate clinical diagnosis, including the use of X-rays. A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp, using local anaesthetic where needed to keep you comfortable. Fine files are then introduced to clean and shape the root canals from within. Using gentle but effective disinfectant solutions, the tooth is carefully cleaned to remove infection. The tooth is then sealed in its root and crown with appropriate filling materials to help prevent reinfection, and a crown may be recommended if the tooth needs additional protection from biting forces.

In borderline cases, your dentist may recommend pulp-preservation therapies instead of root canal treatment. These include the use of materials that encourage the pulp to heal and protect itself from further irritation or infection. Called direct and indirect pulp capping procedures, these involve using calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate materials.

Genix dentists make use of modern techniques and technology, including nickel-titanium files that can flex with the shape of the root canal and apex locators, which help measure the length of the root canal during treatment.

Your treatment will be planned and carried out as carefully and comfortably as possible, with the aim of treating the infection, protecting the tooth and completing your care within an appropriate timeframe.

The workflow for root canal treatments typically has the following steps:

Appointment 1
Clinical history, exam—including vitality tests—and x-rays to diagnose the teeth with issues

↓

Accessing the pulp through the crown under local anaesthesia if necessary

↓

Cleaning the tooth to the best possible extent, followed by placement of medicaments and a dressing if necessary

⤷

Healing period

Appointment 2
Completing the cleaning of the tooth to the tip of its root, verified with an apex locator and x-rays

↓

Root filling, followed by crown filling with biocompatible materials to seal the tooth

↓

Done!

More appointments than two may be required if the infection is extensive. Also, it may be necessary sometime to prescribe antibiotics. Analgesics may be recommended to provide pain relief in the post-operative period.

Your dentist may recommend a crown to protect the tooth and to prolong its life in function if required. You can read more about crowns at Genix here.

The post How many appointments are needed for root canal treatment appeared first on Genix Healthcare.

Typical symptoms of a tooth that may need root canal treatment include severe throbbing, sharp or shooting pain that lingers, especially after exposure to hot or cold temperatures, or spontaneous pain that worsens when lying down. Sometimes, it may be difficult to pinpoint the tooth that is causing pain, and this can be a sign that the pulp may be involved.

This scenario is quite common owing to the high prevalence of dental decay. As a result, a large number of people require root canal treatment for the following reasons:

• Treating severe, deep tooth decay that has reached the pulp of the tooth, causing infection in the tooth and the tissues around the root
• Treating cracked or chipped teeth where the damage has exposed the pulp to bacteria
• Managing teeth that have undergone repeated dental procedures which may lead to pulp damage
• Managing teeth that need to be intentionally devitalised as part of a wider treatment plan, for example before receiving a crown or supporting a bridge
