Signs the nerve may be involved
- Pain that wakes you at night or throbs without any trigger
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the food or drink has gone
- A tooth that hurts when you bite down
- A pimple-like swelling on the gum beside a tooth
- A tooth that has turned darker after a knock
A tooth can also die quietly and cause no pain at all, which is why infections are sometimes first spotted on an X-ray.
What it feels like in the chair
The tooth is numbed fully before anything starts. The doctor then opens the tooth, removes the infected nerve tissue, cleans and shapes the narrow canals inside the root, and seals them. You will feel pressure and hear the instruments, but pain is what the anaesthetic is there to prevent. You can ask to stop at any time, and conscious sedation is available if the thought of it is the real obstacle.
Front teeth, molars and second attempts
A front tooth or premolar usually has a simpler root. A molar has several canals, so it takes more time. The clinic treats both, and it also handles re-treatment of a root canal done elsewhere that has failed. When infection persists at the tip of a root, an apicoectomy may be the next step.
Why a crown usually comes next
A root-canalled tooth almost always needs a crown afterwards to stop it fracturing, because it has lost much of its structure. If the tooth is badly broken, a post and core rebuilds it first. Both are planned together at the consultation, so there are no surprises later. Leaving a treated tooth uncrowned for months is a common way to lose it.
Could the tooth just be taken out?
It can, but keeping your own tooth is almost always better than replacing it. Our guide on root canal versus extraction sets out the trade-offs.

Frequently asked questions
Will the root canal hurt?
The tooth is fully numbed before work begins. Some tenderness when biting is common for a few days afterwards and normally settles on its own.
How many visits does it take?
That depends on the tooth and how much infection is present. A molar generally takes longer than a front tooth. The doctor will tell you what to expect once she has examined it.
My old root canal hurts again. Can it be saved?
Often, yes. Re-treatment is done here, and the X-ray shows whether that or another approach makes sense.
Can I eat after the appointment?
Wait until the numbness has gone so that you do not bite your cheek, and avoid chewing on that side until the tooth has its final restoration.
