Root Canal Treatment – What to Expect
Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) is used to save a tooth when the nerve (pulp) is infected or damaged. The infected tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is then restored so it can function normally again – often with a filling or, in some cases, a crown.
It’s natural to worry that root canal treatment will be painful. In reality, it’s carried out under local anaesthetic, so the aim is to relieve pain rather than cause it. At our Brixworth practice near Northampton, we take a calm, supportive approach and explain each step clearly so you feel comfortable throughout.
After treatment, it’s normal to have some tenderness for a few days. This usually settles with time, and you can continue with your usual brushing and flossing routine while the tooth heals.
Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?
If you’re experiencing toothache, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, tenderness when biting, or swelling around the gum, you may need endodontic treatment (root canal treatment). Not everyone has obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are important – we can often spot early signs of infection before they become more painful.
The nerve (pulp) inside a tooth can become inflamed or infected for several reasons, including deep decay, cracks, trauma, or advanced gum disease. At our Brixworth practice near Northampton, we’ll assess the tooth carefully and explain your options. Where appropriate, root canal treatment can remove infection and help you keep your natural tooth rather than having it removed.

ENDODONTICS FAQs
What Are Endodontics?
Endodontics is an area of dentistry that helps to restore teeth with damaged pulp. This is also known as root canal treatment.
Damaged pulp can be removed from the tooth, the tooth is then cleaned and finished with a dental crown.
This method helps to save the tooth without having to remove it completely.
How Long Do Endodontics Take?
Having endodontics on a single tooth would take somewhere between half an hour and an hour. This depends on the severity of the case, so your dentist will be able to give you a more accurate estimate.
In some cases, the endodontic treatment will need to be carried out across a number of visits.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From Endodontic Treatment?
The majority of patients recover from endodontics in just a few days. During this time, you will need to be cautious of what you are eating, by avoiding especially chewy, tough or crunchy foods and hot or cold drinks.
You may experience some discomfort at this time, but after this, you should have nearly fully recovered. If you experience any pain that you are concerned about following your endodontic treatment, or have ongoing sensitivity, it is important that you get in touch with your dentist.
Does Endodontic Treatment Hurt?
Many people are concerned that endodontic treatment will hurt, however, local anaesthetic is used, so you won’t feel anything at all. You may experience some discomfort after the treatment for a few days whilst you recover. As mentioned, if the pain continues, it is important to get in touch with your dentist.
Who Needs Endodontic Treatment?
The main indicators of someone needing endodontic treatment is if they are experiencing pain, sensitivity, tenderness or discolouration in a singular tooth or area of the mouth. This might not result in you needing endodontic treatment, however, you should definitely see your dentist if you have any of these issues.
