What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment manages infection or inflammation inside a tooth by treating the pulp and root canals. It aims to relieve pain and, when suitable after clinical assessment, to keep the natural tooth in place. Learn more about treating the inside of the tooth.

Removes inflamed or infected pulp from the canals.
Cleans and disinfects the canal spaces to lower bacterial levels.
Fills and seals the canals, followed by a suitable restoration to protect the tooth.

When To Seek Advice Promptly

Please arrange an assessment if you are worried about tooth pain or possible infection. Do not rely on symptoms alone.

Ongoing or severe toothache, especially if it disturbs sleep.
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers.

If swelling spreads, or breathing or swallowing is affected, seek urgent care.

FAQ'S

Not always. Toothache can have several causes. We examine the tooth and take X-rays where needed to confirm whether the pulp is affected and if root canal treatment, another treatment, or monitoring is most appropriate.

Local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable. You may feel pressure or vibration during treatment. Some tenderness afterwards is possible and usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief used as directed. We explain comfort and aftercare before you leave.

Many straightforward cases are completed in one or two appointments. Teeth with multiple roots, complex anatomy or significant infection may need additional visits. We will outline the likely number once we have examined the tooth and reviewed the imaging.

It depends on the tooth and how much sound structure remains. Back teeth often benefit from a crown to help protect against fracture. We will advise whether a filling or crown is best after treatment when the tooth is reassessed.

If the tooth is not restorable or root canal treatment is not advisable, we will discuss alternatives, including extraction and replacement options. Your plan will reflect clinical findings, your preferences and long-term oral health.

Yes. Our practice is in Camberwell and within reach of local transport links. We will aim to offer appointment times that work around study or work where possible, and provide clear instructions before and after visits.
