Overview
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, disinfects the canals and seals them, saving a tooth that would otherwise be lost. Carried out under local anaesthetic, it relieves pain and is usually finished with a crown for long-term protection.
Benefits
- Saves your natural tooth
- Relieves severe toothache and infection
- Comfortable, under local anaesthetic
- Restored to full function with a crown

A crown is usually placed to protect the tooth.
Aftercare & long-term tips
Avoid chewing on the tooth until the crown is placed, take any prescribed medication, and keep up good oral hygiene.
First 24 hours
Stick to soft, lukewarm foods and drinks; avoid very hot or hard items while any numbness or sensitivity settles.

Ease back into normal eating as sensitivity fades — usually within a few days.

Frequently asked questions
Root Canal Treatment
Is a root canal painful?+
Modern root canals are done under anaesthetic and typically relieve pain rather than cause it.
Do I need a crown afterwards?+
Usually yes — a crown protects the treated tooth and restores full strength.
How long does it take?+
Often one or two visits depending on the tooth.
Is it better than extraction?+
Keeping your natural tooth is almost always preferable when it can be saved.
Is the treatment painful?+
It is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure but little to no pain. Most patients report only mild, short-lived sensitivity afterwards.

Stick to soft, lukewarm foods for the first 24 hours, then ease back into normal eating as any sensitivity settles — usually within a few days.
