What to expect
What does root canal treatment involve?
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside a tooth. The canals are cleaned, filled and sealed to help retain the tooth. Local anaesthetic is normally used. Treatment may require several appointments, and a crown may be needed afterwards.
Assess your tooth
We discuss your symptoms, examine the tooth and explain any X-rays needed.
Understand your options
Discuss whether the tooth can be saved, the likely visits and your personalised costs.
Treat and review
The canals are treated and sealed, with a plan for the final restoration and follow-up.

Root canal treatment FAQs
Will it hurt?
Local anaesthetic is normally used to numb the area. Tell your dentist if you feel discomfort or would like a pause.
How many visits will I need?
Root canal treatment commonly takes two or more visits. The plan depends on the tooth and complexity.
Will I need a crown?
Some teeth need a crown after treatment. Ask whether your plan includes a crown or other restoration and what it will cost.
What if the tooth cannot be saved?
Your dentist will discuss extraction and any suitable replacement options. Complex cases may need referral.
What happens afterwards?
Some tenderness can occur. Attend follow-up appointments and contact your dentist if symptoms worsen or you are concerned.
