What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment helps when the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. By carefully cleaning and sealing the canals, we aim to keep the natural tooth where it is a sensible choice.
This may be considered when deep decay, a crack, trauma or a failing restoration has reached the pulp. Local anaesthetic is used, the canals are disinfected and filled, and the tooth is restored afterwards to protect function. Learn more about treating the inside of the tooth.
- Deep decay, cracks, trauma or failing restorations can affect the pulp.
- Local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable.
- Disinfected canals are filled and the tooth is restored for function.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
Ongoing toothache, pain on biting, lingering sensitivity to heat or cold, visible damage, or a change in tooth colour are reasons to arrange an assessment.
- Persistent or worsening toothache
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Tenderness when biting or chewing
- Swelling, gum tenderness or a darkened tooth
If swelling is spreading, you feel unwell, or breathing or swallowing is affected, seek urgent medical or dental help immediately.
