Understanding the problem
Deep decay, cracks, repeated dental work or injury can inflame or infect the nerve inside a tooth. The goal is to assess whether the tooth can be preserved safely and predictably.
Root canal treatment may help preserve a suitable natural tooth when the pulp inside it is inflamed or infected.

Root canal treatment may help preserve a suitable natural tooth when the pulp inside it is inflamed or infected.
Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity that lingers, swelling or a deep cavity can be reasons to arrange a dental assessment. Only an examination and any required imaging can confirm whether root canal treatment is appropriate.
Your dentist assesses the tooth, the surrounding tissues and your bite before explaining the suitable options. The plan, expected visits and any restoration needs are discussed before treatment begins.
After treatment, the tooth may need a filling, onlay or crown depending on the remaining structure and bite forces. Follow-up guidance is tailored to the individual case.
Root canal treatment may be discussed when a tooth has an inflamed or infected pulp and can still be restored. An examination and appropriate imaging confirm the diagnosis and the options.
The dentist explains diagnosis, tooth isolation, cleaning of the root canal system, sealing and the restoration needed to protect the tooth afterwards. Some cases require more than one visit.
Mild tenderness can occur after treatment. Avoid chewing hard foods on the tooth until it has been definitively restored, and follow the specific medication and review advice you receive.
No dental procedure is risk-free. Persistent pain, swelling, a loose temporary restoration or a change in bite should be reviewed promptly. Urgent swelling, fever or difficulty swallowing needs urgent medical attention.
Symptoms can point to a problem, but they do not confirm a diagnosis. A clinical examination and, where needed, dental imaging are used to determine the appropriate care.
The number of visits depends on the tooth, the condition of the pulp and the treatment plan. Your dentist will explain the expected sequence after assessment.
Not every tooth needs the same restoration. The decision depends on remaining tooth structure, position in the mouth and bite forces.
