What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment treats the inside of a tooth when the pulp is inflamed or infected. It aims to control infection and retain the tooth where suitable.
- Removes damaged or infected pulp from the canal system.
- Involves cleaning, disinfecting and sealing the canals.
- Carried out under local anaesthetic to make the tooth numb.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you are worried about a tooth, arrange an assessment rather than self-diagnosing.
- Persistent or severe toothache, especially if it disturbs sleep.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the trigger is removed.
- A cracked tooth, deep decay or recent trauma to a tooth.
- Spreading swelling, fever, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or feeling generally unwell. Seek urgent care.

A Responsible Approach To Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy can often relieve symptoms and may help save a compromised tooth, but suitability depends on examination, X-rays and the tooth’s condition.

Where prognosis is uncertain, we outline phased plans and review points so decisions are made with confidence.

FAQ'S
You cannot diagnose from symptoms alone. Ongoing toothache, lingering sensitivity, biting discomfort or swelling can suggest pulp involvement. The next step is a clinical examination and X-rays so a dentist can confirm the cause and discuss suitable options.
Treatment is carried out using local anaesthetic to numb the tooth. You may feel pressure or vibration while we work. We aim to keep you comfortable and explain each stage. If you feel anxious, let us know so we can plan supportive measures.
It depends on the tooth and the level of infection. Some cases are completed in one visit, while others need two or more to allow effective disinfection. Your dentist will outline the expected timing after assessment and X-rays.
Many back teeth benefit from a crown after root canal to reduce the risk of fracture. Front teeth may be restored with a filling. Your dentist will advise on the most appropriate restoration and its timing to protect function and appearance.
If the prognosis is poor, alternatives can include extraction with options for replacement, such as a bridge or denture. We will explain pros and cons, likely longevity and maintenance so you can make an informed choice.
Yes. We welcome nearby patients and plan appointments pragmatically. If you have spreading swelling, fever or difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek urgent care rather than travelling to a routine visit.
