Root canal treatment is a common and highly effective way to treat infection inside a tooth and relieve pain. At Grange Green Dental, root canal treatment is carried out with a gentle, reassuring approach, focusing on comfort, precision and long term tooth preservation.
Despite common misconceptions, modern root canal treatment is designed to remove pain not cause it, helping you return to everyday comfort as quickly as possible.


Root canal treatment treats infection or inflammation inside the centre of a tooth, known as the pulp. This area can become infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma or repeated dental procedures.
By treating the infection rather than removing the tooth, root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural smile.
Every root canal treatment begins with a thorough assessment to confirm the cause of pain and determine the most appropriate care. We use modern techniques and equipment to ensure treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible.
Our aim is to treat the problem carefully, preserve the tooth and support long term oral health.
We believe understanding the process helps reduce anxiety. Your journey typically includes:


Your dentist will examine the tooth and may take X rays to confirm infection or damage.


Local anaesthetic is used to ensure comfort while the infected tissue is removed and the canals are cleaned.


The tooth is sealed and restored to protect it from further infection and restore function.


We’ll check healing and provide advice on caring for the treated tooth long term.

Modern root canal treatment is usually no more uncomfortable than having a filling. The purpose of treatment is to relieve pain, not cause it.
Any tenderness after treatment is usually mild and temporary and can be managed with simple aftercare advice.

Root canal treatment offers several key benefits:
Relieves dental pain and infection
Saves the natural tooth
Avoids the need for extraction
Restores chewing comfort
Supports long term oral health
