How to tell a tooth may need one

• A deep ache that wakes you at night or lingers on after hot or cold food
• Sharp pain when you bite down on one spot
• A small pimple on the gum near the tooth, or swelling of the gum or face
• A tooth that has turned darker after an injury

Pain that suddenly stops is not always good news. It can mean the nerve has died while the infection remains, so have the tooth checked even if the ache has gone away.

What is actually done

Inside each tooth is soft tissue called the pulp. When deep decay or a crack lets bacteria reach it, the tissue becomes inflamed and then infected. After numbing the area, the dentist makes a small opening, removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them. The tooth stays where it is, and you keep chewing with your own root.

One sitting or two?

Many teeth can be finished in one appointment, which is what people mean by a single sitting root canal. An active infection, curved canals or a molar with several roots can mean a second visit is the safer choice. You will be told which applies once the tooth has been examined and X-rayed, and it is better to take the extra visit than to seal in a problem.

Why a crown usually follows

A root-treated back tooth has often lost a lot of structure and can crack under chewing pressure. A crown protects it, and a post and core may be needed first if little of the tooth is left. The clinic offers metal, PFM, zirconia and E-max crowns, and your dentist can explain which suits that tooth.

When an old root canal fails

A treated tooth can become infected again, sometimes years later. Re-treatment cleans the canals a second time. If that cannot solve it, a small surgical procedure at the root tip, called an apicoectomy, may save the tooth. Both are available here, so extraction does not have to be the first answer.
