While this treatment is often assumed by many to be both a painful and a complex procedure, the reality is with new developments in dental technology endodontic care can be comfortable and effective.

What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure performed that aims to remove infected tooth pulp and replace it with fillings.


The tooth pulp consists of dental cells, blood vessels, tissue fibres and nerve fibres. These are located in the hollow space in the central part of your tooth. These different elements operating within your tooth require a functional harmony to remain healthy and effective.


However, when bad bacteria makes it way into the pulp, it becomes infected and causes severe pain and damage to the tooth. If this damage is not addressed it will most likely lead to tooth loss and the spread of the infection to the other surrounding teeth, as well as potentially causing damage to your jawbone.


Treating this infected pulp is known as endodontic treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I have a dental check-up?

    At Honeysuckle Dental we believe a patient’s teeth should last them a lifetime. We recommend our patients schedule a dental visit every six months. By regularly visiting the dentist, you can address minor concerns before they potentially develop into larger issues.

  • Why is dental hygiene important?

    Your dental hygiene doesn’t only affect your oral health—it can also have an impact on your wider health too. A sound oral hygiene routine that includes brushing, flossing and six-monthly visits to the dentist can help ensure that you are maintaining good dental health and protection against the development of potentially harmful dental conditions.

  • How long will it take to complete a smile makeover?

    This depends on the number of dental procedures you choose to have and how long each takes. A complex smile makeover requires patience as each procedure will need its own amount of time to complete. For example, you may need to use braces that take up to two years to straighten your teeth, before moving on to other cosmetic procedures. Plus, you may need to wait some weeks for your veneers or crowns to arrive.

  • Why should missing teeth be replaced?

    Tooth loss can indicate more significant health concerns and should be addressed, as the gaps left by missing teeth can pose several health concerns and cause significant problems while eating and speaking. Ignoring gaps can leave the rest of your teeth vulnerable to shifting out of place to close the gaps. Dental implants can be a permanent solution, that can be discussed with the dentist.
