Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is infected through decay or injury.  You may not feel any pain in the early stages of the infection.  In some cases, your tooth could darken in colour, which may mean that the nerve of the tooth has died (or is dying).  This would need root canal treatment.


The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection from the root canal.  The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection.


Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure.  Most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits to your dentist.


At the first appointment, the infected pulp is removed, and any abscesses can be drained.  The root canal is then cleaned and shaped ready for the filling.  A temporary filling is put in and the tooth is left to settle.


The tooth is checked at a later visit and when all the infection has cleared, the tooth is permanently filled.
