What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment addresses the soft tissue inside a tooth when it is inflamed or infected, removing bacteria and sealing the canals to reduce further problems. Learn more about treating the inside of the tooth.
- Often advised when deep decay, a crack or trauma affects the pulp and surrounding tissues.
- Usually carried out under local anaesthetic, with careful access to the canals for cleaning, shaping and disinfection before sealing.
- A strong restoration matters after treatment. This may be a filling or a crown, guided by remaining tooth structure and your bite. Read about repairing and protecting the treated tooth.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
Symptoms guide assessment, not diagnosis. A clinical examination is essential to confirm the cause and recommend care.
- Persistent or severe toothache, especially if it disturbs sleep.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the trigger is removed.
- Tooth darkening, tenderness on biting or a pimple on the gum.
- Rapid swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or feeling unwell needs urgent medical or dental attention.

FAQ'S
Only a clinical assessment can determine this. Signs can include lingering sensitivity, pain when biting, tooth darkening or gum swelling. We examine the tooth, take appropriate X-rays and test responses before recommending any treatment.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic. We work gently, explain each step and allow time for breaks. If you are very anxious, we can discuss sedation where suitable.
Some cases are completed in a single visit, while others need two or more appointments, especially if infection is present or the tooth is complex. We will outline the plan and timings at your assessment.
It depends on how much healthy tooth remains and your bite. Back teeth and heavily restored teeth often benefit from a crown to reduce fracture risk. We will advise on the most suitable restoration.
If a tooth cannot be predictably restored, extraction may be advised. Sometimes a temporary dressing or monitoring is appropriate. We will explain the benefits, limitations and next steps.
