Root canal treatment in Bristol

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, then seals the space so you can keep your natural tooth. It is a common way to stop toothache and avoid extraction when the nerve is involved.

When it may help

• Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
• Sensitivity to hot that lingers
• A tooth that darkens after trauma
• Infection or abscess around the root

What to expect

We numb the area carefully, clean the root canals, and place a seal. Many teeth then need a strong filling or crown to protect them when chewing.

Comfort first

If you are nervous, tell us. We explain each step and can pause whenever you need. Keeping your own tooth is often better for biting and neighbouring teeth long term.
