Severe toothache
Throbbing pain, often worse at night, that painkillers do not settle.
Stop the pain and keep your tooth
When the nerve inside a tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal treatment removes it, cleans the canals and seals them, so the tooth can stay in your mouth.
Benefits
Removing the inflamed nerve stops the toothache.
Saving a natural tooth avoids the cost of an implant or bridge.
X-rays and rotary instruments help clean and shape each canal accurately.
Procedure
From your first visit to the final result.
Your dentist examines the tooth and takes an X-ray to see the canals and the infection.
Under local anaesthetic, the infected nerve is removed and the canals are cleaned and disinfected.
The canals are filled and sealed with gutta-percha.
Back teeth usually need a crown afterwards to protect them from breaking.

Questions
With local anaesthetic, the treatment feels much like a filling. The tooth may feel tender for a few days afterwards.
Molars and premolars usually do, because a treated tooth becomes more brittle. Front teeth can often be restored with a filling.
Yes. Between visits the tooth has a temporary filling. Let us know your travel dates and we will plan around them.
