What a root canal actually does
When the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth becomes infected, it causes that deep, relentless ache. A root canal gently removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it, so you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.
It has a fearsome reputation it doesn’t deserve. The procedure is what ends the pain. If you’re hurting now, call us, we’ll get you seen quickly.
What to expect
01
We take a look
A quick X-ray and a gentle exam confirm what’s happening. We explain it in plain language before anything else.
02
We treat it
We numb the tooth, remove the infected pulp, clean the inside, and seal it. Most teeth take one or two visits.
03
We protect it
The tooth usually gets a crown so it stays strong for years. We plan that with you, on your timeline.
Signs you might need one
- A lingering, throbbing toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after
- Pain when biting or chewing
- A small pimple or bump on the gum
- Swelling or tenderness nearby
- A tooth that’s darkening in colour
Some infected teeth cause no pain at all and are only caught on an X-ray, another reason regular check-ups matter.
Frequently asked questions
Does a root canal hurt?
With modern anaesthetic, the procedure feels about like getting a filling. The pain you arrive with is the part we’re removing.
How many visits does it take?
Often one or two, depending on the tooth. We’ll tell you which at your assessment.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just pull the tooth?
Almost always, keeping your natural tooth is better for your bite and jaw. Extraction is a last resort, we’ll talk you through the options honestly.
What happens after?
The tooth usually needs a crown to protect it long-term. We’ll plan that with you so the tooth stays strong for years.
