What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment addresses inflammation or infection inside the tooth. The aim is to control infection, ease symptoms and, where feasible, keep the natural tooth functioning.
- Removes inflamed or infected pulp from inside the tooth.
- Often advised after deep decay, cracks, trauma or large restorations.
- Involves careful cleaning, shaping and disinfection of canals before filling and sealing them.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you have significant toothache or signs of infection, arrange an assessment so a clinician can examine the tooth and advise next steps. Symptoms alone are not a diagnosis.
- Ongoing or severe pain, especially on biting or at night.
- Heat or cold sensitivity that lingers or worsens.
- Localised swelling, a gum pimple or a bad taste from the tooth.
- If swelling spreads, you feel feverish, or breathing or swallowing changes, seek urgent dental or medical help.
Our Approach To Root Canal Treatment
Thoughtful, stepwise care tailored to your tooth and symptoms.
- Assessment: Thorough examination and appropriate imaging, including X‑rays, to identify the cause and evaluate restorability.
- Planning: Clear discussion of options, likely stages and reviews so you can make informed choices.
- Comfort: Local anaesthetic and supportive techniques throughout; we can discuss support for nervous patients where suitable.
- Treatment: Careful canal location, cleaning, shaping and disinfection, then filling and sealing to reduce reinfection risk.
- Aftercare: Practical advice on tenderness, possible complications and planning the restoration and follow‑up.
We agree a plan that suits your situation and support you at every stage.
