Infographic highlighting five signs you may need a root canal, including severe pain, discoloration, gum swelling, persistent gum pimples, and prolonged sensitivity.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

Symptoms of Pulp Infection:
– Pain when eating or drinking hot or cold foods.
– Persistent toothache or throbbing pain.
– Sensitivity when biting or chewing.
– Swollen or tender gums around the affected tooth.
– Tooth discoloration or darkening.
– Facial swelling or pus draining from the infected tooth.

If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us right away at 01922 624900.

– It’s important to see your dentist if the tooth starts to hurt. If your tooth is infected, the pulp cannot heal by itself.
– Leaving the infected tooth in your mouth may make it worse.
– There may also be less chance of the root canal treatment working if the infection within your tooth becomes established.
– Antibiotics, a medicine to treat bacterial infections, are not effective in treating root canal infections.

Types of Root Canal Treatments

Root canal treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on the condition of your tooth and the level of infection, your dentist will recommend the most suitable approach for safe, lasting results.

Single-Visit Root Canal

Completed in one session—best for simpler cases with minimal infection.

Multi-Visit Root Canal

Done over two or more visits—ideal for complex cases or where infection needs time to clear fully.

Not Sure?

We’ll help you choose the right option based on your dental concerns, personal goals, and budget.

How Does A Root Canal Work?

Diagnosis & X-Rays
We take x-rays to confirm the infection and assess the tooth’s structure.
Numbing & Access
A local anesthetic is used to ensure a pain-free experience. We create a small opening in the tooth to reach the infected pulp.
Cleaning & Shaping
The diseased pulp and bacteria are removed; the canals are then disinfected and shaped.
Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta percha) to prevent reinfection. A filling or crown is placed on top for stability.s are pain-free and help save your tooth. Our dentist has a special interest in endodontics and has been performing this procedure for over 15 years.

When Is A Root Canal Needed?

– Deep Decay or Cavities – When bacteria reach the pulp, causing inflammation or an abscess.
– Cracked or Chipped Tooth – A fracture can expose the pulp, leading to infection.
– Leaky Fillings – Old or damaged fillings can allow bacteria to penetrate deeper.
– Dental Trauma – A sudden injury may damage the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth.

Leaving an infected tooth untreated can lead to severe pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.
Root canal treatment is only required when dental X-rays show that the pulp has been damaged by a bacterial infection or there is a crack in the tooth or the tooth has devitalized due to trauma or gum disease.
The pulp will begin to die if it’s infected by bacteria, allowing the bacteria to multiply and spread.
