What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy focuses on treating the inside of the tooth when the pulp is inflamed or infected. The goal is to control infection, relieve symptoms and preserve the tooth where clinically appropriate.
- Removes infected or inflamed pulp from decay, trauma, cracks or failing restorations.
- Performed under local anaesthetic to support comfort during the procedure.
- Involves cleaning, shaping and disinfecting the canals, then filling and sealing them.
- Often followed by a filling or crown to restore strength. We will discuss options for repairing and protecting the treated tooth.
Support For Patients In And Around Wandsworth
You will have time with the dentist to understand your diagnosis, ask questions and weigh the benefits and limitations of treatment. Visits are paced to your needs, and we can provide support for nervous patients if anxiety makes appointments difficult.
After root canal treatment, we will explain suitable restorations such as composite fillings or crowns, arrange follow‑up to monitor healing and discuss maintenance. If further specialist input could improve outcomes, we will guide you on appropriate referral options.
- Time to discuss findings, options and likely outcomes.
- Tailored support for anxious or nervous patients.
- Clear guidance on restorations, reviews and referrals.
When To Seek Advice Promptly
If you have persistent pain or signs of infection, arrange a dental assessment rather than relying on symptoms alone.
- Severe toothache that disturbs sleep or does not settle.
- Localised swelling, a bad taste or discharge around a tooth.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers or worsens.
- If swelling spreads, you feel unwell, or breathing or swallowing is affected, seek urgent care immediately.

A Responsible Approach To Root Canal Treatment
Treatment decisions are based on examination, imaging and open discussion of benefits and limitations for your specific tooth. Root canal therapy cannot be guaranteed to save a tooth, and success depends on factors such as remaining tooth structure, extent of infection and overall health.
If symptoms suggest a spreading infection or you feel unwell, urgent care is required. We will explain alternatives, likely outcomes and next steps so you can make an informed choice.
- Examination and imaging guide diagnosis and planning.
- Root canal success varies and cannot be guaranteed.

FAQ'S
Not always. Toothache can stem from decay, gum issues, cracks or sinus‑related pain. The right course depends on clinical findings and X‑rays. A focused assessment will advise whether a root canal, a different treatment or monitoring is most appropriate.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and surrounding area. You may feel pressure or vibration, but our aim is to keep you as comfortable as possible and to pause if you need a break. Sedation can be discussed for anxious patients.
Many cases are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth, complexity and level of infection. After assessment your dentist will explain the plan, advise on any review appointments and outline the restoration required.
Some teeth, especially molars or heavily filled teeth, benefit from a crown to reduce the risk of fracture. Others can be restored with a well‑sealed filling. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option for your tooth.
If prognosis is poor due to limited tooth structure, complex cracks or advanced infection, alternatives such as extraction and replacement options may be discussed. We will outline the risks, benefits and likely outcomes for each choice.
Many people are comfortable attending our Camberwell practice for assessment and planned visits. We schedule efficiently, explain each step clearly and coordinate follow‑ups so time away from other commitments is kept to a minimum.
