Before you decide
Can your tooth be saved?
Root canal treatment cleans and seals the canals inside an inflamed or infected tooth. The aim is to keep a natural tooth that can be restored.
An examination, appropriate X-rays, your options and an itemised estimate. Ask us to confirm the assessment fee and visit length when booking.
Your options, explained
- 01Save a suitable tooth.
We assess cracks, remaining structure and root support before recommending root canal treatment.
- 02Remove a tooth that cannot be restored.
A severe crack or poor outlook may make extraction more appropriate. Compare saving and replacing a tooth
- 03Refer for more complex care.
Difficult anatomy or retreatment may be better managed by an endodontist. We explain why a referral is recommended.

How root canal treatment works
A clear plan.
Three stages.
Commonly two appointments. Some teeth need one or more visits, depending on infection and complexity.
We explain the expected sequence after assessment.
See inside the tooth +


Assess & numb
Confirm the diagnosis, check local anaesthetic is working and isolate the tooth with a protective dental dam.
A clear diagnosis firstClean & seal
Remove inflamed or infected tissue, clean and disinfect the canals, then seal them. Medication may be placed between visits.
Treatment matched to your toothRestore & protect
The build-up / filling is included. A crown, if needed later to protect the tooth, is quoted separately. Back teeth with significant structural loss often benefit from a crown.

Useful details, when you need them.
Ask us a questionWhat signs need an assessment?+
Deep or throbbing tooth pain
Persistent or night pain can indicate inflammation inside the tooth.
Lingering hot or cold sensitivity
Pain that continues after the temperature is removed needs assessment.
Pain when biting
Tenderness can relate to infection around a root, a crack or another cause.
Swelling or a gum pimple
A recurring spot, drainage or bad taste may indicate tooth infection.
A dark or injured tooth
Deep decay or trauma can affect the tooth’s nerve, sometimes quietly.
No pain, but an X-ray concern
A non-vital or infected tooth can be found without strong pain.
These signs do not prove that you need root canal treatment. Examination and imaging establish the cause. Dead tooth with no pain guide
Will root canal treatment hurt?+
We use local anaesthetic and check comfort before and during treatment. Tell us if you feel pain so we can respond. Some tenderness afterwards is possible; we explain aftercare and when to contact us.
What about work and eating afterwards?+
Discuss your work commitments and appointment length with us when booking. Some tenderness can follow treatment. Avoid chewing while numb, and protect the tooth from hard foods or heavy biting until your dentist advises it is ready. Follow your individual aftercare and complete the planned restoration.
Can antibiotics cure the infection?+
Antibiotics do not remove infected tissue inside the tooth. They may be prescribed for some spreading infections or systemic symptoms alongside dental treatment. Antibiotics and root canal infection
What are the risks?+
Saving the tooth is not guaranteed. Persistent infection, difficult anatomy, instrument complications or a fracture can lead to further treatment, specialist care or extraction. Your dentist explains the risks and likely outlook for your tooth before you proceed.
When should I seek urgent help?+
Seek prompt assessment for severe or worsening pain, facial swelling, fever or feeling unwell. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, or rapidly spreading face or neck swelling: call 000.
How many visits does root canal treatment take?+
Many cases need two appointments. Infection, root anatomy, medication between visits or referral needs can change the number. We explain the expected sequence after your assessment.
Will I need a crown after root canal treatment?+
Many back teeth benefit from a crown because of chewing forces and lost tooth structure. The decision depends on the tooth and fracture risk. The build-up / filling is included in the root canal price range. A crown, if needed later, is quoted separately. Dental crown treatment
When is an endodontist referral recommended?+
Complex anatomy, calcified or curved canals, difficult retreatment or previous complications may be better managed by an endodontist. Your dentist explains the reasons and alternatives before you decide.
