What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment addresses problems inside a tooth when the pulp is affected by deep decay, a crack, trauma or a large restoration. After confirming diagnosis and complexity with examination and X‑rays, the aim is to remove diseased tissue, clean and disinfect the canals, and seal them to reduce the risk of reinfection. Learn more about how we approach root canal treatment.
- Removes inflamed or infected pulp to help reduce pain and swelling risk.
- Cleans and shapes the canals with fine instruments and disinfecting solutions.
- Uses X‑rays during treatment to guide canal length and anatomy where needed.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you have dental pain or swelling, an assessment is safer than self‑diagnosis. We can confirm whether root canal treatment is appropriate or whether another approach is better.
- Ongoing toothache, particularly if it disturbs sleep or daily life.
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold that does not settle.
- Localised swelling, tenderness to biting or a recurring gum pimple.
- If swelling is spreading, or breathing or swallowing is affected, seek urgent care immediately.

FAQ'S
No. Toothache has many causes, including gum problems, cracks, sensitivity or decay that does not involve the pulp. A clinical examination and appropriate X‑rays allow the dentist to diagnose the issue and advise on the best option.
Treatment is carried out using local anaesthetic where appropriate, and we explain each step. Breaks and clear communication help many people feel at ease, and sedation can be discussed for those who are particularly anxious.
Simple cases may be completed in one visit. More complex teeth often need two or more appointments so cleaning and disinfection can be thorough before sealing. A likely schedule is outlined after assessment and radiographs.
Some teeth benefit from a crown to restore strength and reduce fracture risk after root canal treatment, especially molars or teeth with large restorations. Others can be managed with a high‑quality filling. Your dentist will advise.
If the tooth cannot be restored adequately or the prognosis is poor, alternatives such as extraction and replacement options may be discussed. In some cases, further monitoring or referral may be appropriate. The reasoning will be explained clearly.
Yes. We welcome patients from Streatham and the surrounding area. Appointment times can be planned to suit your schedule, and we will let you know how long visits are likely to take so you can arrange your day comfortably.
