Frequently asked questions about root canal treatment in Upminster, Essex

Why is it called a root canal?

The term root canal refers to the natural hollow space inside each tooth root that contains nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissue (known as the dental pulp). When this area becomes infected or damaged, dentists perform root canal treatment to clean out the canal, remove the infection, and seal the space to save the tooth. The treatment takes its name directly from this part of the tooth’s anatomy.

What is root canal treatment and why might I need it?

Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged pulp from the inside of your tooth to eliminate pain, prevent further infection, and save the natural tooth. You may need one if you're experiencing severe pain, swelling, or sensitivity.

Do you offer root canal treatment near me?

Yes, our experienced dentists provide root canal treatment for patients across Essex and East London, including Upminster, Hornchurch, Cranham, Harold Wood, Romford, Rainham and Brentwood.

Is endodontics another word for root canal treatment?

Yes - endodontics is the dental speciality that focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, and root canal treatment is the most common endodontic procedure. A root canal is carried out when the soft tissue inside the tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or damaged. At Church View Dental, we provide gentle, effective root canal treatment to save natural teeth, relieve pain, and restore function.

Does a root canal hurt?

No - with local anaesthetic and advanced techniques, root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than having a filling. Most patients are surprised at how straightforward and pain-free the experience is.

How long does a root canal take?

Treatment time varies depending on the tooth and the complexity, but most root canals take between 60 and 90 minutes and may require one or two visits.

Nervous about root canal treatment?

You’re not alone - many people feel anxious about root canals. That’s why we take time to explain everything clearly and go at your pace, using advanced anaesthetic options and gentle techniques to keep you calm and comfortable from start to finish. For patients who feel especially anxious, sedation options are available to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout.
