What Is Root Canal Treatment?
When the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected through deep decay, cracks, trauma or large fillings, root canal treatment focuses on the inside of the tooth to control infection and protect surrounding tissues.
- Removes damaged or infected pulp from the canals.
- Cleans, shapes and disinfects the canal system to reduce bacteria.
- Seals the canals with biocompatible materials to help prevent re-infection.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you notice persistent tooth pain, a gum swelling or sensitivity that lingers, timely examination is sensible. Clinical assessment and X-rays help determine whether root canal therapy or another option is appropriate.
- Severe or ongoing toothache affecting sleep or daily life.
- Hot or cold sensitivity that continues after the trigger is gone.
- Deep cavity, visible crack or recent trauma to the tooth.
- Spreading swelling, fever, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or feeling unwell needs urgent medical or dental attention.

A Responsible Approach To Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy can often resolve infection and help retain a tooth, but outcomes depend on individual clinical factors.
We do not diagnose from symptoms alone; assessment, imaging and discussion guide decisions. Not every painful tooth requires endodontic treatment, and saving a tooth cannot be guaranteed.
If swelling is spreading, breathing or swallowing is affected, or you feel unwell, seek urgent medical or dental care without delay.

FAQ'S
No. Toothache can arise from decay, cracked enamel, gum problems or sinus issues. A clinical examination with appropriate X-rays is needed to identify the cause and decide whether root canal therapy, a different treatment or monitoring is most suitable.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and surrounding tissues. You may notice pressure or vibration during treatment, and mild tenderness afterwards. Appointments are paced for comfort, with additional measures available if you feel particularly anxious.
It depends on the tooth, complexity and whether infection is present. Some cases are completed in a single visit, while others require two or more appointments with review. Your dentist will outline a likely schedule after assessment.
Many back teeth benefit from a crown to protect remaining tooth structure after endodontic therapy, while some front teeth can be restored with a filling. Your dentist will advise the most appropriate restoration for strength, sealing and function.
If a tooth is not suitable for root canal treatment, extraction may be recommended. Options to replace a missing tooth include bridges, dentures or implants. We will explain the pros and cons of each choice in your individual circumstances.
Most patients can travel home and resume light activities the same day. Avoid chewing on the treated side until advised and follow any aftercare instructions. If you experience increasing pain or swelling, contact the practice for guidance.
