Treatment overview

Inside every tooth is the pulp — soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. Deep decay, cracks, repeated dental work or injury can lead to inflammation or infection of the pulp, which may cause pain, swelling or sensitivity, or sometimes no symptoms at all.

Treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia. Depending on the tooth and the extent of infection, it may be completed in one or more visits. Back teeth often need a crown afterwards to protect them.

Why patients discuss this treatment

Lingering pain or sensitivity to hot or cold
Pain when biting or chewing
Swelling or a pimple-like spot on the gum near a tooth
Darkening of a tooth after injury
Infection found on an X-ray during a routine check-up

These are common reasons only. Only an examination can determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Assessment & treatment journey

1
Diagnosis
Examination, tests and X-rays help determine whether the pulp is affected and whether the tooth can be saved.
2
Numbing & isolation
Local anaesthesia is given and the tooth is isolated to keep it clean and dry.
3
Cleaning & shaping
The infected pulp is removed and the canals are carefully cleaned, shaped and disinfected.
4
Sealing
The canals are filled and sealed; a temporary or permanent filling closes the access.
5
Restoration
A crown or final filling is placed to protect the tooth, as recommended by your dentist.
