Top 10 Root Canal Treatment FAQs – Oxford
Quick answers to the most common questions about root canal treatment in Oxford – symptoms to watch for, what happens during treatment, and how we help protect the tooth afterwards.
1. What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment addresses infection or inflammation inside a tooth. The canals are cleaned and sealed to help stop the infection returning and to preserve the tooth where possible.
2. Why might I need a root canal?
It can be recommended if the tooth’s inner tissue becomes infected or inflamed, often from deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work. Your clinician will assess the tooth and explain the options that fit your situation.
3. What are the signs that I might need a root canal?
Signs can include lingering sensitivity, pain on biting, swelling, or a gum boil/abscess. Some infections are silent, so diagnosis often relies on examination and X-rays where appropriate.
4. Does root canal treatment hurt?
Local anaesthetic is typically used to keep you comfortable during treatment. Many patients find the procedure helps relieve the pain caused by infection. Your clinician will advise on expected tenderness and aftercare.
5. How long does root canal treatment take?
It depends on the tooth and how complex the canals are. Your clinician will explain the likely time needed after assessment and will discuss the plan before treatment begins.
6. How many appointments will I need?
Some teeth can be treated in a single appointment, while others require more than one visit. Your clinician will outline what’s recommended for your tooth, based on complexity and infection.
7. Will I need a crown after root canal treatment?
A tooth may need additional protection afterwards, particularly if it’s a molar or has a large filling. Your clinician will advise whether a crown or another restoration is recommended to strengthen the tooth.
8. What’s the alternative to a root canal?
The main alternative is extraction. If the tooth can be saved, root canal treatment is often considered first – your clinician will help you compare the options and decide what’s best for you.
9. What should I do after a root canal?
Follow the aftercare instructions you’re given, and avoid heavy chewing on the tooth if advised, particularly before it’s fully restored. Mild tenderness can be normal, but contact the practice if symptoms worsen.
10. How successful is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is commonly used to treat infected teeth and keep them in place. Prognosis varies depending on factors such as tooth structure, infection severity and how the tooth is restored – your clinician can discuss likely outcomes for your case.

What To Expect From Your Endodontics in Oxford with Beyond Dental
More commonly known as root canal treatment, endodontics can save and restore teeth with damaged pulp, without needing to remove them completely. You can walk away with a healthy smile that you feel confident with. After a consultation with one of our fantastic experts, we can get you booked in for your endodontics in Oxford. At this point, we will also ensure that root canal is the right treatment for you, as opposed to alternatives such as a dental crown if the situation with your tooth is not as severe as anticipated, or perhaps a dental implant if the tooth cannot be saved.
Once you are fully settled, comfortable and you understand the procedure, we will start by administering local anaesthetic, so pain won’t be a concern! We will then begin the procedure, removing any damaged pulp from the tooth and then cleaning the area completely. We finish by filling the tooth and fitting a completely natural looking dental crown, so no one will ever know you had any dental work done.

FAQs - Endodontics in Oxford
If the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, endodontics with us in Oxford can be undertaken to remove the affected pulp tissue and prevent further pain and discomfort.
- Severe gum disease
- Deep Decay
- An extensive restoration which affected the pulp
- A broken tooth cause by trauma
- Too much wearing of enamel and dentine exposing the pulp
But conversely, you might not have any symptoms at all. Untreated pulp infection or inflammation can lead to swelling, pain and the deterioration of the underlying bone. If you are ever concerned about your teeth, simply visit a dentist offering endodontics in Oxford.
Once a root canal treatment is completed, all the pulp will have been removed from your tooth. This means the tooth has no vital tissues inside it, but vital tissues still surround the root of the tooth. These include supporting bone, the periodontal membrane and the gum. Teeth on which endodontics have been performed can be looked after with regular oral hygiene measures and dental care and will work like normal teeth.
You can counter any discomfort you experience with over-the-counter painkillers. If you were to encounter more persistent or severe pain or inflammation, your dentist will be able to help.
