What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is considered when the tooth’s pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, cracks, trauma or deep restorations. The aim is to clean and disinfect the canals, then seal them to help reduce the risk of reinfection while keeping the tooth in place where clinically appropriate. Learn more about how we approach treating the inside of the tooth.
- Removes inflamed or infected pulp that may be causing pain or an abscess.
- Performed with local anaesthetic to keep you as comfortable as possible.
- Can help preserve the natural tooth rather than extracting, when suitable.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
Seek a dental assessment if you are concerned. Symptoms can overlap with other conditions and should not be used for self-diagnosis.
- Severe or lingering toothache, especially if it disturbs sleep or eating.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, or a tooth that darkens or feels loose.
- Swelling, a bad taste or discharge near a tooth, which may suggest infection.
- If swelling spreads, or breathing or swallowing is affected, obtain urgent care.

FAQ'S
Similar symptoms can arise from decay, cracked teeth or gum issues. The only reliable way to confirm whether root canal treatment is appropriate is a clinical examination with X-rays. We assess your history, test the tooth and then discuss suitable options.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth, so most patients feel only vibration and pressure during treatment. Some soreness afterwards is possible and usually manageable with simple pain relief. We will advise on comfort measures and what to expect during recovery.
Straightforward cases may be completed in one visit. Teeth with complex canals, significant infection or tenderness often need two or more visits to allow thorough disinfection and healing between stages. Your dentist will outline a tailored plan after assessment.
Many back teeth benefit from a crown to protect against fracture and restore function. Some front teeth can be reinforced with a well-sealed filling. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate restoration once the canals are treated and the tooth is reassessed.
If root canal treatment is not suitable or fails, alternatives include extraction with options for replacement such as a bridge or denture, or referral for further opinion. We will explain the pros and cons of each route so you can make an informed choice.
Please allow extra time around your appointment and plan transport so you are not rushed. Eating a light meal beforehand is often recommended unless advised otherwise. Let us know about work or childcare constraints so we can help schedule timings.
