Nothing like its reputation.
Your own tooth, kept
Saving the natural tooth protects your bite, your jawbone and the teeth either side — usually better than taking it out.
Gentle precision
Human support
Pain out. Tooth stays.
Root canal treatment relieves the pain of infection — it doesn't cause it.
The Cadbury promise

Toothache is hard to think through. We prioritise getting you comfortable first, then explain clearly whether the tooth can be saved — and what each option costs.
1
Get you comfortable
Same-day emergency slots where possible, with pain relief before anything else.
2
Treat the infection

Common questions
The details, without the dental jargon.
Does root canal treatment hurt?
With proper numbing, most patients say it feels no worse than having a filling. The treatment relieves pain rather than causing it.
How many appointments will I need?
Usually one or two, depending on the tooth and the infection.
Should I just have the tooth out instead?
Sometimes extraction is right — but keeping your own tooth is usually better for your bite, bone and wallet long-term. We'll talk it through honestly.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Often yes for back teeth, to protect the treated tooth from fracture. We'll advise based on your case.
How long does a root-treated tooth last?
Many last decades, especially when protected with a crown and reviewed regularly.
