Expert endodontic treatment to relieve pain, eliminate infection and save your natural tooth.
Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic treatment) is a procedure to save a tooth that has become badly infected or damaged. Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected — often due to deep decay, a crack or trauma — it can cause severe pain and, if left untreated, lead to an abscess.
Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then seals it to prevent further infection. Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is a comfortable, routine procedure — most patients compare it to having a standard filling.
At Fareham Road Surgery, we use modern rotary instruments, electronic apex locators and digital X-rays to carry out root canal treatment with precision and efficiency. Our goal is always to save your natural tooth wherever possible — a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime with proper care.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, contact us as soon as possible. Early treatment can prevent the infection from spreading and help us save the tooth.

Here is what to expect during your root canal treatment at our Gosport practice.
Your dentist will examine the tooth, take X-rays and assess the extent of infection to confirm that root canal treatment is the right option.
The area around the tooth is thoroughly numbed with local anaesthetic. You should not feel any pain during the procedure.
The infected pulp tissue is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected, and then filled with a biocompatible material.
The tooth is sealed and, in most cases, a crown is placed over the tooth to protect it and restore its full strength and function.
Tooth pain is your body telling you something needs attention. The sooner you see us, the better the chance of saving your tooth. Contact us today.
