What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment addresses the inside of a tooth when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected by deep decay, cracks, trauma or repeated dental work. The goal is to remove diseased tissue, disinfect the canal system and seal it to reduce the risk of further infection. Learn more about our root canal treatment.
- Removes infected or inflamed pulp from within the canals.
- Cleans and disinfects the canal system to address bacteria.
- Fills and seals the canals, followed by a suitable restoration.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you have ongoing dental pain or swelling, please arrange an assessment rather than self‑diagnose.
- Toothache that disturbs sleep or daily activities.
- Sensitivity that lingers after hot or cold.
- Local swelling, redness or any discharge.
- If swelling is spreading, or breathing or swallowing is affected, seek urgent dental or medical help immediately.
Not every sore tooth needs a root canal, but timely review matters.

FAQ'S
You cannot confirm this from symptoms alone. Persistent toothache, lingering sensitivity or swelling can indicate a pulp problem, but an examination and X‑rays are needed to confirm the diagnosis and the most suitable treatment.
Your tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anaesthetic. We work steadily and explain each step, with breaks if needed. Additional support such as sedation can be discussed during your consultation if appropriate.
It depends on the tooth, the level of infection and complexity. Some cases can be completed in a single visit, while others need two or more visits to allow thorough cleaning and effective sealing.
Back teeth and heavily filled teeth often benefit from a crown to protect remaining structure. Smaller cavities in front teeth may be restored with a filling. Your dentist will advise what is most suitable after treatment.
If a root canal is unlikely to succeed or not appropriate, we will explain other options such as extraction and replacement choices, including their risks, benefits and timing, so you can make an informed decision.
Most patients can travel home independently after routine treatment with local anaesthetic. If sedation is used, you will need an escort and should avoid driving or certain activities for a period. We provide clear guidance in advance.
