Root canal treatment addresses infection or inflammation inside the tooth by removing diseased pulp, disinfecting the canals and sealing them to reduce the risk of reinfection.
- Helps when deep decay, cracks or trauma affect the tooth’s pulp.
- Carried out under local anaesthetic to maintain comfort during care.
- The tooth is then rebuilt, often with a filling or crown, as part of restorative dentistry.
- Suitability and outcomes depend on tooth condition, timing and the quality of the final restoration.

FAQ'S
You cannot confirm this from symptoms alone. Persistent toothache, biting pain, lingering sensitivity or deep decay are signs to seek an assessment. A dentist will examine the tooth and take X-rays to diagnose the cause and advise suitable options.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and surrounding tissues. You may feel pressure or vibration rather than pain. Some tenderness afterwards is possible and usually settles with over-the-counter pain relief and the aftercare advice we provide.
Some straightforward cases can be completed in a single visit. Teeth with complex roots or active infection may need two or more appointments to allow further disinfection and assessment before final sealing and restoration.
Many back teeth benefit from cuspal coverage to reduce the risk of fracture. Whether you need a crown depends on the tooth’s position, remaining tooth structure and your bite. Your dentist will explain the most appropriate option for long-term protection.
Alternatives depend on diagnosis and prognosis. Options may include monitoring, a replacement filling, or extraction if the tooth cannot be predictably restored. Your clinician will outline what each option involves so you can choose confidently.
