Root canal treatment.

When decay or infection reaches the nerve of a tooth, root canal treatment can often save it, relieving pain and keeping your natural smile.

Overview

Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp. If it becomes inflamed or infected, through deep decay, a crack or an injury, it can cause pain and lead to an abscess.

Root canal treatment removes the affected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals inside the root and seals them. The tooth is then restored, often with a crown, so it can function normally for years to come.

Common questions

Common questions

Is root canal treatment painful?

The treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so most patients feel it is similar to having a filling. Some tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal.

How many appointments will I need?

Many root canal treatments are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth and the extent of the infection.

Will I need a crown afterwards?

Back teeth often benefit from a crown after root canal treatment, as it protects the tooth from fracture. Your dentist will advise on the best option for you.
