What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment addresses the inside of a tooth when the pulp is inflamed or infected. The aim is to clean and seal the root canal system and then protect the tooth with a suitable restoration. You can read more about our approach to root canal treatment, including when it may be considered and the usual steps.
- Removes inflamed or infected pulp tissue from the tooth’s interior.
- Cleans, shapes and disinfects the root canals before sealing them.
- Restores the tooth with a filling or crown when clinically advised.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you notice potential signs of a dental problem, book a timely assessment. Do not rely on symptoms alone for a diagnosis.
- Persistent or severe toothache, particularly pain that disturbs sleep.
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, or pain on biting or chewing.
- Swelling of the gums or face, or a pimple-like spot on the gum.
- A cracked, heavily filled or previously traumatised tooth.
Our Approach To Root Canal Treatment
We provide careful assessment, clear explanations and treatment at a pace that suits you.
- Assessment: We discuss your symptoms, examine the tooth and take diagnostic X-rays where required to evaluate suitability for root canal care.
- Planning: We explain options, risks and benefits, considering tooth type, previous treatment and your wider oral health to support an informed choice.
- Comfort: Local anaesthetic is used and we work at a pace that suits you, with support for nervous patients available if anxiety makes treatment difficult.
- Treatment: The affected pulp is removed; canals are carefully cleaned, shaped and disinfected, then sealed to lower the chance of reinfection.
- Aftercare: We discuss pain relief and healing, and plan restoration of the tooth with a filling or crown when advised to help maintain function.
We focus on preserving the natural tooth where appropriate after assessment.

Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth during treatment, and we proceed at a pace that suits you. If you feel anxious, we can discuss options for additional support to help you stay at ease.
It depends on the tooth and clinical findings. Some cases are completed in one visit, while others are staged over two or more appointments to allow thorough cleaning, disinfection and review before sealing and restoration.
Many back teeth benefit from a crown to protect remaining structure after root canal treatment. Some front teeth can be restored with a filling. Your clinician will advise what best supports strength and function.
If a tooth is unsuitable for root canal treatment or prognosis is poor, extraction may be discussed along with replacement options such as a bridge or denture. Risks, benefits and timing will be explained.
