Root canal treatment
The inflamed or dead nerve is removed, the canals inside the roots are cleaned, disinfected and sealed under the microscope, and the tooth is kept rather than extracted.

Endodontic treatment for Burton upon Trent and Staffordshire
All of it concerns the inside of the tooth: nerves that are inflamed or have died, infection at the root, root fillings that have broken down, cracks and injuries — and the assessments that work out which is to blame. Every page explains, without jargon, when the treatment is right, what happens at the visit and what comes afterwards.
Treatments
Root canal retreatment
A tooth that was root-treated years ago can become infected again. The old filling is removed, the canals that were missed are found and treated, and the tooth is sealed anew.
Learn moreEndodontic surgery
When infection lingers at the tip of a root that cannot be reached from inside the tooth, a small surgical procedure under local anaesthetic removes it and seals the root end.
Learn moreCracked and split teeth
That brief, sharp stab when you bite is usually a crack. Finding it and gauging its depth under magnification decides whether the tooth is protected, root-treated or beyond saving.
Learn moreKnocked-out and injured teeth
Accidents chip, loosen and dislodge teeth. Quick action saves a knocked-out tooth, and patient monitoring afterwards catches the nerve damage that can appear months later.
Learn moreDental phobia and nervous patients
For people who have avoided the dentist for years: root canal treatment explained in advance, anaesthetic proven before it starts, a signal that stops everything and a clinician trained in dental sedation.

Diagnosing toothache
The tooth that hurts is not always the tooth that is wrong. Methodical testing and the right X-rays identify the culprit and what it needs — sometimes nothing more than reassurance.
Learn moreAbscessed tooth treatment
An abscess is infection that has leaked from a dead tooth into the bone. Antibiotics quieten it for a while; cleaning and sealing the canals is what removes it for good.
Learn moreEmergency root canal treatment
Throbbing pain, a swelling or a tooth that keeps you awake is treated as urgent. Say so when you book and the first visit is about relieving the pain.
Learn moreAlternatives to extraction
Before a tooth is taken out, it is worth knowing whether it has to be. An honest assessment of the roots, the remaining tooth and the infection tells you what can realistically be done.
Learn moreNo idea which of these is you?
You are not supposed to know. Book an appointment and the tooth will be examined, the right X-rays taken and the options explained — including whether any treatment is needed at all.
Book an AppointmentHow it works
Consultation first, plan second, treatment only when you decide
Everyone starts with a consultation: your history, an examination, cold and bite tests and X-rays where needed. You go home with a written summary of the diagnosis, the recommended treatment, the realistic outlook for the tooth and the fee, and nothing is booked until you have chosen to proceed.
If your dentist has already examined the tooth, their findings are reviewed and they are told if ours differ. In pain today? Say so when you book — acute cases are seen first.
