Treat infection inside a tooth

What treatment can help with
What this could mean for you.
Your treatment plan is based on your examination and goals.
Start with your concern
Start with what you have noticed.
You do not need to know the name of a treatment before asking about your teeth.
Persistent toothache
Explain the location, duration and triggers of pain rather than assuming a particular treatment is needed.
A damaged tooth
Tell the dentist about a crack, chip or previous injury, even if it happened some time ago.
A previous large filling
Bring any available records and describe changes in comfort or biting.
Swelling or an unusual taste
Seek prompt dental advice for swelling, fever or symptoms that are worsening.

Understanding the treatment
When the inside of a tooth needs attention
Root canal treatment addresses infection inside a tooth. The affected soft tissue is removed, the internal spaces are cleaned and a filling seals the tooth. The aim is to retain a tooth where appropriate; an examination determines whether this approach is suitable.
An examination helps identify the cause of your symptoms. Bring your questions and explain when the discomfort began. Ask what the examination shows, which options are reasonable and what further treatment the tooth may need afterwards.

Your questions
A little more clarity
before your visit.
These answers are a starting point. Your consultation is where we discuss your individual situation.
Will the area be numbed?
Root canal treatment is usually carried out with local anaesthetic to numb the area. Tell the dentist about your concerns and let them know if you feel discomfort during treatment.
Does toothache always mean a root canal?
No. Several conditions can cause pain. An examination helps establish the reason and appropriate options.
Will I need more than one visit?
Several appointments may be needed. Ask for a proposed sequence, including the final filling or crown.
Will I need a crown?
Some teeth need a crown afterwards. Ask why it is recommended and what alternatives exist.
Can I delay treatment?
Discuss the consequences of waiting with the dentist rather than relying on symptoms settling temporarily.
What should I bring?
Bring medication details, previous dental records if available, and your questions about keeping the tooth.
Are there any risks or limitations?
Tenderness can occur after treatment. A treated tooth still needs maintenance, and further treatment or extraction may be needed in some cases. Ask which limitations apply to your tooth. Worsening swelling or feeling unwell needs prompt dental assessment.
