WHAT IS ENDODONTIC TREATMENT?
Endodontic treatment, more commonly referred to as root canal treatment, is a procedure used to save teeth containing damaged pulp, without having to remove them completely. Firstly, your dentist will remove the pulp from the tooth and clean the area, before filling the tooth and finishing the procedure with a dental crown.
Now, many people are concerned about pain during endodontic treatment and we get it, the explanation doesn’t lend itself to nice thoughts! However, the procedure is always carried out under local anaesthetic so you won’t feel a thing. At Oakgrove, Milton Keynes we do everything possible to make you feel comfortable and our team is with you every step of the way to relieve any stress and to help you relax.
Sensitivity and tenderness are to be expected for a few days after the treatment then after this, you can continue with your regular oral hygiene routine, as the procedure enables the tooth to function like a normal tooth would.
DO I NEED ENDODONTIC TREATMENT?
If you’re experiencing pain, sensitivity, discolouration of the tooth or tenderness, it’s time to give us a call, as you may need endodontic treatment. Although, not everyone experiences these symptoms when they are in need of endodontic treatment, so keeping up with your regular dental checkups is important. After all, visiting our luxurious clinic a few times a year isn’t exactly a chore!
The pulp in the tooth can become infected for a number of reasons, from the wearing of enamel to deep decay, broken teeth or severe gum disease. Our team are experts in identifying issues early on, so endodontic treatment can be used to save the tooth rather than having to remove it completely.

BENEFITS OF ENDODONTIC TREATMENT
Aesthetic Benefits
Endodontics preserves the natural appearance of your teeth, avoiding gaps or artificial replacements.
Tooth Preservation
Ondodontic treatment saves natural teeth that might otherwise require extraction, maintaining your smile and bite alignment.
Infection Elimination:
Endodontic procedures remove bacteria and infection from inside the tooth, preventing the spread to surrounding tissues.
Long-Term Dental Health
Properly performed endodontic treatments ensure the tooth’s longevity, reducing the need for further dental interventions.
Cost-Effective
Saving a tooth with endodontic care is often less expensive than replacing it with an implant or bridge.
Pain Relief
Endodontic treatment, like root canals, effectively relieves severe tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation in the pulp.
ENDODONTICS FAQs
About Root Canal Treatment
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then seals them. This allows a damaged tooth to be saved rather than removed in many cases.
Why might I need a root canal?
Root canal treatment is needed when decay, cracks or trauma allow bacteria to reach the tooth’s pulp, causing pain, infection or an abscess. Your dentist at Oakgrove will recommend it if the tooth can be predictably restored and retained.
Will my tooth be dead after root canal treatment?
After treatment the tooth no longer contains living pulp tissue, but it can still function normally for chewing and biting. With a good restoration it should look and feel like a natural tooth.
What is an endodontist?
An endodontist is a dentist with additional training in treating the inside of teeth, including complex root canal cases. At Oakgrove, referral to an endodontist may be recommended for difficult anatomy or persistent infection.
The Treatment Process
Is root canal treatment painful?
At Oakgrove Dental Practice, root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Some tenderness afterwards is normal and usually settles with standard pain relief, and our team will provide aftercare guidance to support your recovery.
How many appointments are needed for root canal?
Some straightforward cases can be completed in a single visit, while more complex teeth may require two or more appointments. The number of visits depends on the tooth, infection and anatomy.
How long does a root canal appointment take?
Appointment length varies, but treatment of a back tooth often takes around 60-90 minutes per visit. At Oakgrove, sufficient time is scheduled to allow careful and predictable treatment.
Can root canal treatment be carried out under sedation?
Sedation may be available for very anxious patients or complex cases. This is planned in advance and discussed as part of your overall treatment plan.
Options & Decisions
Is root canal treatment available through all dentists?
Many general dentists provide root canal treatment, while more complex cases may be referred to a dentist with additional training or an endodontist. At Oakgrove Dental Practice in Milton Keynes, our team will advise the most appropriate option for your tooth.
Will I need a crown after root canal treatment?
Teeth that have had root canal treatment, especially back teeth, often benefit from a crown to reduce the risk of fracture. Your dentist will advise whether a filling or crown is most suitable.
What are the alternatives to root canal treatment?
The main alternative is extraction of the tooth, followed by replacement with options such as a bridge, denture or implant. Preserving the natural tooth is often preferred when the prognosis is good.
Is root canal better than having the tooth removed?
If the tooth can be predictably saved, root canal treatment often provides a better long-term outcome than extraction and replacement. However, extraction may be advised if the tooth has a poor prognosis.
Is private root canal treatment different from other options?
Private treatment may involve longer appointments, advanced equipment or specialist care. At Oakgrove, we will explain available options and provide a clear written estimate as part of your treatment plan.
Outcomes, Risks & Aftercare
What is the success rate of root canal treatment?
Root-treated teeth can last many years when treatment is carefully carried out and the tooth is properly restored. Success depends on factors such as infection severity, tooth anatomy and ongoing oral hygiene.
Are there risks with root canal treatment?
As with any dental procedure, risks include persistent infection, instrument fracture or cracks in the tooth. Careful planning and technique reduce these risks, and further treatment is sometimes possible if issues arise.
What should I expect after root canal treatment?
Mild tenderness for a few days is common, especially when chewing. This usually improves steadily, and your team at Oakgrove will advise on pain relief and next steps.
Can a root canal fail, and what happens if it does?
Occasionally a tooth may remain infected or become reinfected months or years later. Options include retreatment, specialist procedures or extraction, depending on the situation.
Can I go back to work after a root canal?
Many people return to normal activities the same day, particularly after shorter appointments. You may choose to rest if treatment was lengthy or complex.
How do I look after a tooth that has had root canal treatment?
Maintain good brushing and interdental cleaning and attend regular check-ups at our Milton Keynes practice so the tooth and surrounding bone can be monitored. Avoid biting very hard foods until the final restoration is in place.
