Frequently Asked Questions
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal treatment is performed using local anaesthetic to help keep you comfortable. Many patients are surprised that the procedure feels similar to having a routine filling. Your comfort is always our priority.
Why would I need a root canal?
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a crack, trauma or repeated dental procedures. The aim is to remove the infection while preserving your natural tooth where appropriate.
Can a root canal save my tooth?
In many cases, yes. Root canal treatment is designed to remove infection and preserve the natural tooth rather than extracting it. Your dentist will determine whether your tooth is suitable following a thorough assessment.
How long does root canal treatment take?
The time required depends on the tooth being treated and the complexity of the infection. Some treatments can be completed in one appointment, while others may require two or more visits.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Many back teeth benefit from a dental crown after root canal treatment to help restore strength and reduce the risk of fracture. We’ll discuss whether a crown is recommended for your tooth.
Is it better to remove the tooth instead?
Preserving your natural tooth is generally preferred where clinically appropriate. However, every situation is different. We’ll explain all suitable treatment options during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
What happens if I don't treat an infected tooth?
An untreated infection may continue to cause pain and can spread to surrounding tissues. Early assessment allows us to discuss appropriate treatment before the problem becomes more severe.
Will I be able to eat normally afterwards?
We’ll provide personalised aftercare instructions. Most patients return to normal eating once advised by their dentist, although temporary sensitivity may occur during the healing period.
Is root canal treatment successful?
Root canal treatment has a high success rate when appropriately planned and maintained. Long-term outcomes depend on factors such as the condition of the tooth, good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
What if I'm nervous about treatment?
Many patients feel anxious about root canal treatment. Our team takes the time to explain every step, answer your questions and provide a calm, supportive environment to help you feel more comfortable.
How much does root canal treatment cost?
The cost depends on factors such as which tooth is being treated and the complexity of the procedure. We’ll provide a personalised treatment plan and explain all associated fees before treatment begins.
