Root canal therapy treats infection at its source, restores function, and helps maintain long-term dental health.
To support healing and protect your tooth after root canal therapy, it’s important to follow these daily care practices:
Refrain from chewing on the treated side until the final restoration (crown or filling) is placed to protect the tooth and allow proper healing.
Brush and floss gently around the treated tooth to prevent reinfection and support overall oral health.
Attend scheduled dental visits so your dentist can monitor the tooth, ensuring the treatment remains successful and complications are avoided.
Contact your dentist promptly if you notice unusual pain, swelling, or pressure, as these may indicate a complication requiring attention.
Modern root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, making them virtually painless. You may experience mild tenderness afterwards, which usually subsides within a few days.
Most treatments can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of infection.
With proper care and restoration (usually a crown), a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last a lifetime.
In most cases, yes. A crown strengthens the treated tooth, preventing fractures and ensuring long-term functionality.
No. Once the pulp is infected, it cannot heal on its own. Without treatment, the infection can spread and lead to abscesses or tooth loss.

Friendly, caring service and professional work. Went here after being told elsewhere that fixing my teeth would only cost, ‘The price of a small car.’ Weston Dentistry fixed my dental issues at an affordable, realistic price
