What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment manages the inside of a tooth when the pulp is inflamed or infected. Read more about our approach to root canal treatment.
- Addresses causes such as deep decay, cracks, trauma or failing restorations.
- Performed under local anaesthetic to manage discomfort during treatment.
- Canals are located, cleaned and disinfected to reduce bacteria and debris.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you have ongoing dental symptoms, arrange a professional assessment.
- Toothache that lingers, wakes you at night or hurts on biting.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts after the trigger is gone.
- Swelling, tenderness, a bad taste or discharge near a tooth.
- Recent dental trauma, a cracked tooth or a large filling that becomes painful.
Our Approach To Root Canal Treatment
A clear, step-by-step plan focused on diagnosis, comfort and long-term protection.
- Assessment: We take a detailed history, examine the tooth and use focused X-rays to map canal anatomy and check for signs of infection.
- Planning: We explain the diagnosis, discuss alternatives and advise whether a filling or crown will be needed afterwards for long-term protection.
- Comfort: Local anaesthetic is used throughout with clear, unhurried explanations; additional support via sedation dentistry can be arranged for suitable patients.
- Treatment: Using sterile techniques, we remove inflamed or infected pulp, shape and disinfect the canals, then seal them to help lower the risk of reinfection.
- Aftercare: Guidance covers medication, chewing on the tooth, restoration timing and review visits as part of ongoing general dentistry.
We tailor every stage to your needs and explain each step as we go.

FAQ'S
Not always. Toothache has several causes, some reversible. We examine the tooth, review your history and take X-rays where appropriate before recommending treatment. If the pulp is inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may be advised.
We use local anaesthetic to manage discomfort and explain each stage so you know what to expect. For suitable patients who feel very anxious, we can discuss sedation and other support to help you through the appointment.
Many straightforward cases are completed in one or two visits. Complex canals or significant infection may require additional appointments. A follow-up check and the final restoration, such as a crown if recommended, are arranged afterwards.
It depends on the tooth and how much sound structure remains. Back teeth and heavily filled teeth are more likely to benefit from a crown to reduce fracture risk. We will explain the options and timing after your assessment.
If the prognosis is poor, alternatives such as extraction may be considered. We will discuss the implications, possible replacement options and, where helpful, arrange a referral for a second opinion before you decide.
Yes. Most people are fine to travel home once the anaesthetic begins to wear off. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it is fully restored, and follow the aftercare advice provided at your visit.
