Root Canal FAQs

All About Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and is usually no more uncomfortable than having a filling. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is.

Saving your natural tooth is usually the best option when possible. Root canal treatment allows you to keep the tooth, maintain normal chewing, and avoid the need for more complex replacements.

Often, especially for back teeth. It protects the tooth long-term.

Root canal treatment has a very high success rate, but no dental procedure can be guaranteed. Your dentist will assess the tooth carefully and explain your individual prognosis.

Yes, most patients return to work and normal activities the same day or the next day. Some mild tenderness is normal but usually short-lived.

Infection occurs when bacteria enter the tooth through deep decay, cracks, or trauma. This allows bacteria to reach the nerve inside the tooth.

In rare cases, infection can return, particularly if the tooth is damaged or not fully restored. Regular check-ups and proper aftercare help reduce this risk.

Usually 60–90 minutes, sometimes over two visits.
