Understand the treatment

What is root canal treatment?

The dentist removes affected pulp, cleans and fills the root canals, then seals the tooth. A suitable final restoration helps protect it and restore function.

  • The soft tissue inside a tooth can become inflamed or infected through decay, cracks or injury. Examination and imaging help determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate.

What treatment aims to do

Why consider root canal treatment?

The diagnosis and whether the tooth can be restored guide the choice between saving it and other care.

Treat the cause

Root canal care removes affected tissue and cleans the canals when the diagnosis supports treatment.

During and after care

Treatment visits & healing

Root canal care may take one or more appointments, followed by the final filling or crown. Complex canals, retreatment or persistent infection can add visits. Some tenderness afterwards is common, but worsening pain or swelling needs review. Longer-term checks assess how the tissues heal.

Protecting the treated tooth

Avoid heavy biting on the tooth until the final restoration is completed. Keep cleaning gently and attend the planned restoration appointment. Contact the clinic if the temporary filling is lost or pain or swelling worsens.

Your questions, answered

Is root canal treatment painful?

Local anaesthetic is used to keep treatment comfortable. Tell your dentist if you feel pain. Some tenderness afterwards is common and should improve; worsening symptoms need review.

Will I need a crown afterwards?

A crown or other protective restoration may be recommended, especially for a weakened back tooth. Your dentist chooses according to the tooth's position and remaining structure.

Can a root-treated tooth become infected again?

Yes, reinfection or incomplete healing can occur. Prompt final restoration, good cleaning and reviews help. Retreatment or other care may be needed if problems return.

Can extraction be an alternative?

Extraction may be discussed if the tooth cannot be restored or has a poor outlook. Your dentist explains the alternatives and any need to replace a removed tooth.

Why is the final restoration important?

The final filling or crown seals and protects the treated tooth. Attend the planned restoration appointment and avoid heavy biting on the tooth until it is fully restored.
