What Does Root Canal Treatment Involve?
Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals them to prevent further infection. It saves teeth that would otherwise need extraction - preserving your natural smile.
When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Treatment is required when bacteria reach the dental pulp - the soft tissue inside your tooth - through deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Common symptoms include persistent toothache, sensitivity to heat and cold, and swelling around the tooth.
The Treatment Process
Under local anaesthetic, we access the infected pulp, carefully clean and shape the root canals, and fill them with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed with a filling or crown for long-term protection.
Crown Protection Afterwards
In most cases, a crown is recommended after root canal treatment. It protects the treated tooth from fracture and significantly improves the long-term success rate. We will advise on the best restoration for your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before visiting Redbourn Dentist. Can't find your answer? Get in touch with our friendly team.
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and is no more uncomfortable than having a filling. Modern techniques have made root canal therapy a straightforward, pain-free experience.
How many appointments will I need?
Most root canal treatments require one to two appointments, depending on complexity. We will let you know the expected timeline from the outset.
What is the success rate of root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment has a high success rate - approximately 8 out of 10 treated teeth survive for 10 years or more with proper aftercare.
What happens if I do not have root canal treatment?
The only alternative is extracting the tooth. We always recommend saving natural teeth where possible, as extraction leads to bone loss and requires replacement with an implant, bridge, or denture.
Can a treated tooth become infected again?
Reinfection is uncommon but possible. Placing a crown after treatment significantly reduces this risk and safeguards the tooth for the long term.
