Myths About Root Canal Treatment
We've attempted to debunk a few of the many myths and misconceptions about root canal therapy below. However, if you have any further queries or worries, get in touch with us.
Extraction is a suitable option to root canal therapy. - False
Truth: If at all possible, keeping your original teeth is frequently the wisest course of action.
Your natural tooth cannot be entirely replaced by anything. You might avoid particular meals if you have an artificial tooth. It's crucial to preserve your own teeth so you may continue to enjoy the vast variety of foods required to keep the right nutritional balance in your diet. Endodontic treatment is usually less expensive than extraction and bridge or dental implant installation when used in conjunction with a suitable restoration to treat teeth with damaged pulp. Additionally, endodontic therapy has a very high success rate. Many teeth with root canal therapy live a lifetime. A bridge or implant placement will take a lot longer to complete and may necessitate additional procedures on nearby teeth and supporting tissues. After receiving a root canal, millions of healthy teeth continue to serve patients worldwide. Patients who have healthy teeth are able to chew food well, keep their smiles looking natural, and enjoy life more.
Root canal therapy hurts - False
Truth: Having a root canal improves pain rather than causing it.
Many, many years ago, when root canal therapy was first becoming started, the idea that they hurt started to spread. Modern anaesthetics and technological advancements have made root canal therapy as comfortable as getting a filling. In fact, a recent survey found that individuals who have had root canal therapy are six times more likely than people who have not to describe it as "painless."
False: Root canal therapy leads to sickness.
Truth: Root canal therapy is a painless and successful surgery.
It was long believed that getting root canals accelerated the development of disease and illness in the body. This claim, which first surfaced in the early 1900s, has since been disproven. There is a plethora of clinical evidence to support the assertion that root canal procedures performed by skilled endodontists utilising the most recent methods and materials do not result in sickness.

It is my 3rd time going to see Laura, first time Laura was so helpful, I was very nervous and worried, have had a lot of work done she always reassured me, I'm so glad I listened to her !, I have beautiful teeth and I could not be happier I didn't think it was possible to have a lovely smile ? still continuing with her, she is so lovely and caring and professional, also Sarah too and rest of girls. Thanks so much.
Dr. Laura Fee and the entire team are amazing, so friendly throughout and really reassuring! I recently had a wisdom tooth extraction under sedation and didn’t feel a thing. Everything was explained very clearly and I felt totally comfortable - would recommend this dental practice to anyone, they really do go above and beyond!
After a number of years away from the dentist I bit the bullet and went and so happy I did, Dr. Laura and her team made me feel so relaxed and they provided top-quality service. I didn't even realize the job had been done and to top it off best prices around highly recommended
Visited the clinic myself for the first time today along with my son who was having his first visit to the dentist too. We had a really great experience, Dr. Fee and all of the staff were so friendly, it was a really positive experience! My son even said he had a brilliant time, so that speaks for itself! I would highly recommend the clinic and delighted to have this service in the community!
I don't normally leave reviews but wanted to say thanks so much to Dr Laura for her great work this weekend. I'm quite a nervous patient but she had me completely at ease for my treatment this morning. Also highly recommend for children - her and the nurses were fantastic with my son and his teddy Justin Beaver! They went above and beyond in making sure he had a great experience! he's now so excited for his next six month check and I'm thrilled he won't be growing up with a fear of the dentist! Thanks again!
I couldn't recommend Dr Laura Fee & the Smile Hub Dental Clinic enough. Top class service from someone that previously had a fear of the dentist 🤜 🤛
Couldn’t recommend Dr Laura enough, amazing work done throughout the clear braces process and couldn’t be happier with the results.
My daughter had an accident late at night. When I phoned that night they were able to get her in at 07.30 the next morning. All friendly and helpful staff. Very happy with the dental work care carried out. Would highly recommend.
The team were fantastic. They saw me on Paddys Day for an emergency. Life savers and so friendly. My dentist was incredible. Thank you all!
