Your solution to persistent tooth pain

At Oswyn House Dental Practice, we understand that the words “root canal” can sound intimidating – but this routine treatment is one of the most effective ways to relieve pain and save a tooth that might otherwise be lost.

Root canal therapy (also known as a root filling) is used to treat infection or damage deep inside the tooth. When the pulp – the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels – becomes infected, it can cause serious discomfort, abscesses, or even tooth loss.

During the procedure, the damaged pulp is gently removed, the canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is protected with a final restoration (usually a dental crown).

With modern techniques and expert care, root canal treatment is safe, effective, and usually no more uncomfortable than a standard filling.

What are the benefits?

Root canal therapy is a highly effective way to restore and protect your natural teeth.

Saves your natural tooth – Avoids the need for extraction and maintains the integrity of your smile.

Eliminates pain and infection – Treats the source of discomfort and prevents serious oral health issues.

Restores everyday function – Allows you to chew, bite, and smile with confidence again.

Your frequently asked questions

No – with modern techniques and local anaesthetic, the treatment is typically painless and feels much like getting a regular filling.

You may need one if you experience persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or signs of infection such as an abscess.

In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth and restores full strength and function.

Root canal therapy is usually completed in one or two appointments, depending on the tooth and severity of the infection.

With good care, a root-filled tooth can last many years. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key.
