About Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is used to save a tooth when the pulp inside becomes infected due to decay or injury. Without treatment, infection can spread, leading to pain, swelling, or even tooth loss. At Peppermint, our aim is to relieve discomfort and preserve your natural tooth.

The procedure involves carefully removing the infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and then sealing them with a special filling material. In many cases, a crown is recommended afterwards to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.

Our private dentists carry out this treatment with precision and care, using modern techniques to keep you comfortable at every step. With our gentle approach and flexible finance options, we make root canal treatment reassuring and accessible.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Calm Consultation
We begin with a friendly consultation to examine your tooth and explain your treatment options. You’ll have plenty of time for questions.

Gentle Numbing
Local anaesthetic is used so you remain comfortable throughout. Most patients find the treatment feels no different to a filling.

Cleaning & Sealing
The infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, and then filled with a protective material to prevent reinfection.

Restoration & Aftercare
Often, a crown is placed afterwards to restore strength and appearance. We’ll give you simple aftercare advice for lasting results.
