Root canal therapy is carried out when the nerve of a tooth has died, or when there is an infection around the end of the root. Infection can be caused by tooth decay, leaky fillings or damage from trauma. The treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely.
Root canal treatment is needed when an x-ray shows the pulp — the soft tissue at the centre of the tooth — has been damaged. If the pulp has a bacterial infection, you may feel pain when eating or drinking hot or cold food and drink, or pain when biting or chewing.
Leaving an infected tooth in place can make it worse, and there may be less chance of treatment working once the infection becomes established.

Frequently asked questions
What happens after treatment?
After your final treatment, your restored tooth should no longer be painful, although it may feel sensitive for a few days. You can take over-the-counter painkillers for any discomfort. If there is any pain or swelling after using painkillers, call us and we can arrange for you to return to the practice.
