Root canal (endodontic) treatment removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth so the tooth can be kept rather than extracted.
What root canal typically involves
- Local anaesthetic, then cleaning and shaping of the canals inside the root
- Filling and sealing of the canals, sometimes over more than one visit
- A permanent restoration, often a crown, to protect the tooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Is this done by the general dentist or a specialist endodontist?
- Will the tooth need a crown afterwards, and is that in the quote?
- What is the plan if symptoms return?
NHS or private?
Root canal treatment is available on the NHS when it is clinically necessary, subject to the standard NHS band charge.
