Is a root canal painful?

Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic. Most patients find the discomfort of the infection itself far worse than the procedure.

I have severe tooth pain — do I need a root canal?

Only an examination can tell. Tooth pain has many possible causes, so please book an appointment or call us rather than self-diagnosing.

Overview

Root canal therapy can save a tooth that has become severely infected or decayed. When diagnosis indicates the need for a root canal treatment, our first priority is our patients' peace of mind.

Treatment removes the damaged tissue inside the tooth, cleans the space and seals it, so the natural tooth can stay in place.
