Relieve Tooth Pain. Save Your Natural Tooth.
If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity or swelling, a root canal may be the most effective way to relieve discomfort and save your natural tooth.
At Start Smiling, we provide gentle, carefully planned root canal treatment designed to remove infection, ease pain and restore comfort, with patient reassurance at the heart of what we do.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, sometimes called root canal therapy, is used when the inner part of a tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed, often due to decay, cracks, or trauma.
The root canal procedure involves:
- Removing the infected tissue
- Thoroughly cleaning the root canals
- Sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection
The aim is to eliminate pain and preserve the tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.
Why Choose Start Smiling For Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment has a reputation for being uncomfortable but modern dentistry has changed that.
Patients choose Start Smiling because we offer:
- Gentle, patient focused root canal treatment
- Clear explanations at every stage
- Modern techniques for comfort and precision

- Comfort first dentistry, using effective local anaesthetic
- Clear communication, so there are no surprises
- Careful planning, to protect and strengthen the tooth afterwards

- Have ongoing toothache or pain

- Have a deep cavity or cracked tooth
- Have an infection visible on X-rays
