What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected pulp, disinfects the canals and seals the space to help preserve a tooth where clinically appropriate. Learn more about our approach to root canal treatment.
- Common Reasons: Deep decay, a crack, dental trauma or a large filling can let bacteria reach the pulp.
- How It Is Assessed: We review your symptoms, examine the tooth and take targeted radiographs to confirm whether treatment is indicated.
- What Follows: After the canals are filled and sealed, a filling or a crown may be advised to restore strength, usually planned as part of repairing and protecting the treated tooth.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
Please book an assessment if you have ongoing toothache, lingering sensitivity or signs that point to infection. Symptoms guide us but are not a diagnosis.
- Persistent Or Severe Pain: Especially if it disturbs sleep or worsens on biting.
- Swelling Or Discharge: Including a bad taste or a pimple on the gum.
- Urgent Signs: If swelling spreads, or breathing or swallowing are affected, seek urgent medical or dental help immediately.
Our Approach To Root Canal Treatment
Thoughtful, step‑by‑step care from diagnosis to final restoration.
- Assessment: Focused examination and appropriate X‑rays to understand pulp health, root anatomy and whether the tooth can be predictably restored.
- Planning: Clear discussion of options, stages, risks and restoration needs so you can decide with confidence.
- Comfort: Local anaesthetic is used and we check in throughout; we can also provide additional support if you feel anxious.
- Treatment: Gentle removal of inflamed or infected pulp, thorough cleaning and disinfection, then careful filling and sealing of the canals.
- Aftercare: Practical advice on pain relief, hygiene and timing of the final restoration, with review to monitor healing and function.

FAQ'S
Symptoms such as prolonged pain to hot or cold, tenderness on biting or swelling can suggest pulp involvement. These overlap with other issues, so diagnosis relies on examination and X‑rays rather than symptoms alone.
A local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and your comfort is checked throughout. Some tenderness afterwards is common and usually managed with over‑the‑counter pain relief. Tell us about any anxiety so we can tailor support.
Many straightforward cases are completed in one or two visits. Complex roots, ongoing infection or additional canals may need further appointments. We will outline the likely number after your assessment and imaging.
It depends on the tooth and remaining structure. Back teeth often benefit from a crown to reduce fracture risk after root canal treatment. Front teeth with more intact enamel may be restored with a filling. We will advise what is appropriate.
If the tooth cannot be predictably restored or prognosis is poor, alternatives may include extraction. Replacement options such as a bridge, denture or implant can then be considered. We will discuss risks and benefits before you decide.
