Root canal treatment is often considered one of the most complex dental procedures and can be a time-consuming procedure.
The root of a tooth contains nerve endings and soft tissue known as dental pulp. If tooth decay penetrates and infects this area of the tooth, you may experience severe toothache and sensitivity.
Root canal therapy is a sequence of procedures to remove this infection from inside the tooth, before sealing the tooth to protect the damaged nerve and restore good oral health.

How Long Does a Root Canal Take?
Typically, root canal treatment will require more than one visit to our practice, although it can be completed in a single visit depending on the location of the infected root tissue and if the infection is active. We will always discuss and advise the best course of treatment depending on the situation and your dental health.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
By utilizing the latest techniques and state of the art technology, we can ensure that our patients are comfortable throughout all procedures. We are committed to treating all of our patients safely in a calm, relaxing environment. We will always offer a level of dental care that we would expect to be carried out on ourselves.
What Happens After the Treatment?
When we have completed your root canal treatment, we will place a temporary filling over your tooth. This will need to be replaced with a crown as soon as possible. The crown will restore the tooth strength and prevent the chance for bacteria from your mouth to reinfect the tooth.
You may experience some pain for the initial two or three days after the procedure depending on how serious the infection and inflammation was. You will have to avoid chewing on the affected side for this recovery period.
