What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment focuses on treating the inside of the tooth when the pulp is affected by deep decay, cracks, trauma or previous extensive restorations. The goal is to remove diseased tissue, disinfect the canals and seal them to lower the chance of reinfection.
- Local anaesthetic is used so treatment is generally comfortable.
- Infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed and the canals are cleaned and disinfected.
- The canals are shaped and sealed with a biocompatible material.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
Persistent or worsening symptoms should be assessed by a dentist. Please do not try to self-diagnose.
- Severe toothache that lingers, especially at night.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that does not settle after a few days.
- Gum swelling near a tooth, a pimple-like bump or a loose-feeling tooth.
- Fever, spreading facial swelling, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
If swelling is spreading, you feel unwell, or breathing or swallowing is affected, seek urgent care immediately.

FAQ'S
Not always. Toothache, sensitivity or swelling can have several causes. A careful examination and X-rays help confirm whether root canal treatment, a different treatment, or monitoring is most suitable. Please arrange an assessment rather than self-diagnosing.
We use local anaesthetic and communicate at each stage to support your comfort. You may feel pressure or vibration, but most patients manage well. If you are anxious, we can discuss measures to help you feel calmer.
Many treatments are completed over one or two appointments, depending on the tooth, the number of canals and the level of infection. More complex cases can take additional visits. We will outline the likely sequence before treatment begins.
After root canal treatment, teeth often benefit from a protective restoration. Back teeth frequently need a crown to resist fracture, while some front teeth can be restored with a high-quality filling. We will recommend what best protects your tooth.
If prognosis is poor or the tooth cannot be predictably restored, alternatives may include extraction with options to replace the tooth, or monitoring where appropriate. We will explain the risks and benefits so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. We welcome new patients from the surrounding area for assessment and treatment. Let our reception team know your availability and any symptoms, and we will arrange appointments and follow-up that fit your schedule.
