Root Canal Treatment

Helping you keep your natural tooth

Root canal treatment may be recommended when the soft tissue inside a tooth, known as the dental pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen following deep decay, a crack or damage to the tooth. Symptoms vary, and sometimes a problem is identified during a dental examination before significant discomfort develops.

Treatment aims to remove the affected tissue, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and seal it to

help prevent further infection. Keeping your natural tooth may help maintain your bite and avoid the need for extraction. Your dentist will assess the tooth, explain the options and discuss whether root canal treatment is appropriate for you.

Saving and Restoring Your Tooth

When the inside of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may help preserve it. We will assess the tooth and explain the recommended next steps.

Preserve Your Natural Tooth

Root canal treatment can help retain a natural tooth when the pulp inside it is inflamed or infected, provided the tooth is suitable for treatment and can be restored afterwards.

Keeping a natural tooth may help maintain your bite and chewing function. Your dentist will assess the condition of the tooth and explain whether root canal treatment is a reasonable option or whether another approach should be considered.

Comfort-Focused Care

Local anaesthetic is usually used during root canal treatment to help manage discomfort while the clinician works inside the tooth. The team can explain what will happen at each stage and give you opportunities to raise concerns or ask for a pause.

Some tenderness may occur after treatment, so you will also be given advice about what to expect and when to contact the practice if symptoms worry you.

A Plan for Restoring Your Tooth

Your dentist will explain the recommended option, whether further appointments are needed and how to care for the tooth afterwards, including any follow-up that may be advised.

THE TREATMENT

What happens during the treatment?

Your dentist will explain the plan. Local anaesthetic is usually used to help keep you comfortable. The affected pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned and shaped, then filled and sealed. More than one appointment may be needed.

Once the canals have been sealed, the tooth may need a filling or crown to restore its strength and protect it from further damage. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate restoration based on how much of the tooth remains and how it functions when you bite. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups will help you maintain the treated tooth and your overall oral health.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Local anaesthetic is usually used. The tooth may be tender afterwards, and your dentist will explain how to manage this.

It may be recommended when the pulp inside a tooth is inflamed or infected and the tooth may be saved.

This depends on the tooth, root complexity and infection. Your dentist will explain the likely plan.

Some teeth benefit from a crown for protection, particularly when much tooth structure has been lost.

Avoid chewing on the tooth while it is numb and follow advice about any temporary restoration.

Some tenderness can be normal. Contact the practice if pain worsens, swelling develops or you are concerned.

No. Your dentist will assess the damage and explain treatment and alternatives.
