What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a procedure to treat an infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp or nerve, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals (where the nerves used to sit), and then filling and sealing the tooth. If identified quickly, the tooth can be saved instead of extracted. This procedure can be performed virtually pain free.

FAQ: Root canal therapy

  • If you experience severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, or a swelling or abscess near the affected tooth, it could be a sign that you need a root canal. A root canal is a procedure to treat an infected or damaged tooth by removing the damaged pulp and filling the root canal with a dental sealant.


  • With modern techniques and anaesthesia, root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. We prioritise your comfort throughout the procedure.

  • The length of the procedure depends on the complexity of the case, but it usually takes one to three appointments.

  • The main alternative is tooth extraction, followed by a bridge or implant to replace the missing tooth. However, saving your natural tooth is always the preferred option whenever possible.

  • Let us know in advance if you experience dental anxiety. We offer various options to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your visit.
