Root canal treatment – Endodontics

General dentistry

What it is

Root canal treatment is needed when the pulp, the inner part of the tooth, becomes inflamed or infected. The root canals are cleaned, disinfected and filled so the tooth can be kept.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. Afterwards, the tooth often needs a strong restoration, such as a filling or a crown, to protect it.

Questions

Your questions

Will I feel pain during root canal treatment?

It is done under local anaesthetic. Some tenderness may follow for a few days.

How many visits are needed?

It depends on the tooth. Some treatments are completed in one visit, others need more.

Why is root canal treatment needed?

When the tooth pulp becomes inflamed or infected, root canal treatment allows the natural tooth to be kept instead of removed.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

A crown or strong restoration is often recommended to protect the tooth. This depends on the condition of the tooth.

How will I feel after the treatment?

There may be mild sensitivity for a few days, which usually passes. We give you clear instructions after the visit.
