What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment addresses inflammation or infection of the pulp inside a tooth, with the aim of keeping the tooth where clinically possible.
You can read more about how we approach root canal treatment at our practice.
- The pulp can become inflamed after deep decay, cracks, trauma or extensive fillings.
- Treatment removes inflamed or infected tissue, then carefully cleans, shapes and disinfects the canals.
- The canals are filled and sealed to reduce the risk of reinfection.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
Please book an assessment if you are concerned; symptoms point to a need for evaluation, not a diagnosis.
- Persistent toothache or pain on biting that does not settle.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the trigger is removed.
- Local swelling, a gum pimple, bad taste or discharge near a tooth.
- Recent dental trauma, cracks or a failing large restoration.

- Assessment: Focused history, clinical tests and appropriate X‑rays to identify the cause and confirm suitability for endodontic care.

Outcomes vary with the extent of infection, remaining tooth structure and individual response. If you develop spreading swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing, please seek urgent medical or dental attention without delay.
- Careful assessment of gums, teeth and overall health
- Clear explanation of alternatives and timelines

FAQ'S
You cannot confirm it from symptoms alone. Persistent toothache, tenderness when biting, lingering sensitivity or swelling may indicate a pulp problem. A dentist needs to examine the tooth and take appropriate X‑rays and tests to advise on the right treatment.
Your tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anaesthetic. We work at a steady, reassuring pace, check in regularly and can offer sedation for those who feel especially anxious. Some post‑treatment soreness is possible and usually manageable.
Many straightforward cases are completed in one or two visits. Teeth with complex anatomy, significant infection or additional canals may require more time. We will outline the expected number of visits after your assessment and initial imaging.
After root canal treatment, a tooth can be more fragile. Depending on remaining tooth structure and your bite, a crown or onlay may be advised to protect it. We will discuss restoration options and timing as part of your plan.
If the tooth is too compromised, we will explain why and discuss alternatives, such as extraction and options to replace the tooth. Your dentist will outline risks, benefits and likely outcomes so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. People who work or shop near the market often visit our Camberwell clinic. Bring any recent X‑rays or notes if you have them, and let us know about your schedule so we can plan appointments that suit you.
