What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy treats the inside of a tooth when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma or a large restoration. The aim is to preserve the natural tooth where clinically suitable by carefully cleaning and sealing the canals. Read more about our approach to root canal treatment.
- Removes inflamed or infected pulp from within the tooth.
- Cleans and disinfects the canals to reduce bacteria.
- Fills and seals the canals to help prevent reinfection.

FAQ'S
Not necessarily. Toothache can have several causes, including gum problems, a cracked tooth or sensitivity. A clinical examination and appropriate X‑rays are needed to confirm the source of pain and whether root canal treatment, another therapy or monitoring is suitable.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area before treatment. You may notice pressure or movement rather than pain. If you feel anxious, we can discuss additional support, including sedation, and adapt the appointment to help you stay comfortable.
This depends on the tooth and complexity. Some cases are completed in a single visit; others require two or more appointments to allow thorough disinfection and a suitable final restoration plan. Your dentist will outline the expected timeline at assessment.
Many back teeth benefit from a crown to protect the remaining structure after treatment, while some front teeth can be restored with a filling. Your dentist will advise the most appropriate restoration to support function and reduce fracture risk.
