When Internal Health Needs Restoration
Root canal treatment is needed when the inside of a tooth becomes badly inflamed or infected, often from deep decay or a crack. The procedure removes the infected tissue, cleans the area, and seals the tooth to stop the problem returning. This removes the pain and saves your natural tooth, helping you avoid an implant or bridge.
At St Georges Dental, we use modern technology to make the process smooth and reliable. Choosing us for your root canal in Brighton means gentle, supportive care where everything is explained clearly, helping you feel calm and protecting your long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
A root canal is a treatment that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth, relieving pain and saving the natural tooth from extraction.
You may need a root canal if you have deep decay, a cracked tooth, trauma, or an infection that has reached the nerve. Common signs include pain, swelling, sensitivity, or a lingering ache.
Most standard root canal treatments are completed successfully in one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the tooth’s anatomy and the extent of the infection. We will assess this during your initial consultation and plan accordingly.
After a root canal, the tooth can become more brittle and prone to fracture. Placing a custom dental crown fully protects the treated tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and function, which is essential for long-term survival in your mouth.
Avoiding treatment means the infection will persist and likely spread to the surrounding jawbone and other teeth, leading to severe, recurrent pain, bone loss, and potentially a dangerous abscess. In most cases, the only alternative is extraction.
