What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment focuses on the inside of the tooth when the pulp is inflamed or infected. It aims to control infection and retain the tooth where appropriate.
You can read more about our approach to root canal treatment.
- Removes diseased pulp caused by deep decay, cracks, trauma or large previous fillings.
- Performed under local anaesthetic to keep the tooth comfortable while we work.
- Involves accessing the canals, cleaning and disinfecting them, then sealing the space.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you have dental pain, please do not self‑diagnose. A timely check improves your options.
- Ongoing toothache or tenderness that does not settle.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the trigger is removed.
- Swelling, a bad taste or increasing discomfort that may indicate infection.
- If swelling is spreading, breathing or swallowing is affected, or you feel unwell, seek urgent medical or dental help immediately.

We take a careful, step‑by‑step approach tailored to your tooth and comfort.
- Assessment: Thorough examination with appropriate X‑rays to confirm diagnosis and check the tooth’s suitability for treatment.
- Planning: Clear discussion of options, likely stages, timeframes and the restoration the tooth may need afterwards.
- Comfort: Local anaesthetic and a calm, unhurried technique, with sedation dentistry available if you feel anxious.

FAQ'S
You cannot confirm this from symptoms alone. Persistent toothache, lingering sensitivity or swelling can suggest a pulp problem, but diagnosis requires examination and X‑rays. We will then advise whether root canal treatment, monitoring or an alternative is most appropriate.
Treatment is carried out using local anaesthetic to keep the tooth comfortable while we work. You may feel pressure or vibration rather than pain. Some tenderness afterwards is possible and usually manageable with simple measures. We will check your comfort throughout.
Some cases can be completed in a single visit. Teeth with complex anatomy or more significant infection may benefit from two or more appointments, sometimes with a medicated dressing between visits. We will outline a likely schedule at your assessment.
Many back teeth benefit from a crown following root canal treatment to reduce the risk of fracture and restore function. Front teeth may be suitable for a high‑quality filling. We will recommend a restoration that balances protection, appearance and function for your tooth.
If prognosis is poor, we will explain alternatives such as extraction and options to replace or manage the space. You will receive clear guidance on benefits, risks and likely maintenance so you can choose what fits your dental health and goals.
