Root canal treatment to save your tooth

What is root canal treatment?
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, with nerves and blood vessels. When deep decay, a crack or an old injury lets bacteria reach it, the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. That is the pain that keeps you awake, gets worse with heat, or lingers long after a cold drink.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the canals inside the root and seals them. With modern numbing, most patients tell us it felt no worse than a filling. Afterwards the tooth usually needs a filling or a crown to protect it.
Who it’s for
- Severe or throbbing toothache, especially at night
- Pain that lingers after hot or cold drinks
- Swelling or a small pimple on the gum near a tooth
- A tooth that has darkened after an injury
- A deep cavity or crack your dentist has spotted on an X-ray
Step by step
What to expect at your visit
How it works from start to finish, so there are no surprises.
- Step 1
Diagnosis
An exam and X-ray confirm whether the nerve is infected and whether the tooth can be saved.
- Step 2
Numbing and isolation
The tooth is numbed and kept clean and dry while we work.
- Step 3
Clean and shape
Infected tissue is removed and the canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected.
- Step 4
Seal and protect
The canals are filled and sealed, then the tooth is restored with a filling or crown.

FAQ
Root canal treatment questions, answered
Is root canal treatment painful?
The treatment is done under local anaesthetic and should feel similar to a filling. It is the infection before treatment that hurts. Most people feel much better afterwards.
How many visits does a root canal take?
Often one or two. A badly infected tooth may need a dressing first and a second visit to finish.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Back teeth usually do, because they take a lot of biting force and can crack. Your dentist will advise you for your specific tooth.
Is it better to just pull the tooth?
Keeping your natural tooth is usually the better option for chewing and for the teeth around it. If the tooth cannot be saved, we will talk you through extraction and replacement options honestly.
