Signs you may need one
- A tooth that throbs without warning, or keeps you awake
- Pain from hot or cold that stays after the food is gone
- Pain when you bite down
- A pimple on the gum, or swelling near one tooth
- A tooth that has turned dark after an injury
Sometimes a tooth with a dead nerve causes no pain at all, and the problem shows up on an X-ray.
What is done
The tooth is numbed, and a small opening is made in the top. The infected pulp is removed, and the canals inside the roots are cleaned and shaped. They are then filled and sealed so that bacteria cannot return. A front tooth with a single root may be simpler. A molar has several canals and generally takes longer. The number of visits depends on the tooth and on how much infection is present.
Why a crown usually follows
A tooth that has had a root canal has often lost a lot of its structure, and back teeth take heavy chewing forces. A crown stops it from cracking. The clinic offers PFM and zirconia crowns, and if little of the tooth is left, a post and core can give the crown something to hold.
When a root canal has failed
An old root canal can become infected again. Re-treatment cleans the canals a second time, and if this is not possible, a small surgical procedure called an apicoectomy may save the tooth. Both are available here, and removal is the last option.

Frequently asked questions
Is a root canal painful?
The tooth is numbed first, so you should not feel pain during treatment. It may be tender for a few days afterwards.
Can it be done in one visit?
Sometimes. It depends on the tooth, how many canals it has and whether there is active infection. You will be told after the examination.
Would it be easier to remove the tooth?
Removal is quicker on the day, but the gap then has to be dealt with. Keeping your own tooth is usually better when it can be saved.
How long does a root-canal-treated tooth last?
With a well-fitting crown and good cleaning, it can last for many years, often a lifetime.
