Do I Need a Root Canal?
Root canal therapy is often the last option for preserving a severely damaged or infected tooth. By the time a root canal is necessary, simpler treatments such as fillings or crowns are no longer effective.
A root canal may be required if:
- The inner nerve of the tooth is infected or dying
- Deep decay or trauma has reached the pulp
- An abscess has formed at the root
- You experience persistent pain, swelling, or sensitivity
During the procedure, the infected nerve tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is disinfected and sealed, and the tooth is restored. This eliminates pain, prevents further infection, and preserves your natural tooth—avoiding extraction whenever possible.

What to Expect
Root canal therapy today is far simpler and more comfortable than most patients expect. At Arch Dental, we take extra care to ensure a calm, gentle experience.
- Local anaesthetic keeps you pain-free throughout the procedure.
- The appointment usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on the tooth.
- Many patients bring headphones or audiobooks to relax—and some even nap during treatment.
Our focus is on precision and comfort. Nothing is rushed, and your experience should feel peaceful and stress-free.

Why a Root Canal Is Necessary
When bacteria, decay, or injury reach the inner nerve of a tooth, the tooth will eventually die and break down, often causing pain and infection. A root canal halts this process, preserving the natural structure and allowing you to keep your tooth instead of losing it.
