What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment treats the inside of a tooth when the pulp is inflamed or infected.
- The pulp tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected, then sealed to reduce the chance of re-infection.
- Local anaesthetic is used to support comfort during the procedure.
- It may be advised when deep decay, cracks, trauma or large restorations have affected the pulp.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
Please do not self-diagnose. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so a clinical examination with suitable imaging is essential.
- Toothache that persists, disturbs sleep or does not settle with simple pain relief.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, or pain on biting or chewing.
- Localised swelling, a bad taste or drainage, or a tooth that has darkened after a knock.
- If swelling is spreading, or breathing or swallowing is affected, seek urgent medical or dental help immediately.

- Afterwards, the tooth is protected with a suitable filling or crown, with a focus on function and strength when restoring the tooth afterwards.

- Success is not guaranteed; alternatives may be appropriate.
