When tooth pain starts to affect your daily life, root canal treatment can offer a solution that relieves discomfort while saving your natural tooth. At Glandwr Dental Practice, we understand that the thought of a root canal can feel daunting—but our compassionate, highly skilled team is here to guide you through the process with care and expertise. With modern techniques and a gentle approach, we help patients across Pwllheli and Criccieth restore their oral health and protect their smiles.
Make EnquiryRoot canal treatment is a procedure designed to remove infection from the inside of a tooth. When the soft tissue inside the tooth (known as the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, injury, or deep fillings, it can cause severe pain and lead to further damage if left untreated.
Our goal is to save the tooth, ease your discomfort, and protect your overall dental health — all while making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek advice as soon as possible. Early treatment can prevent the infection from spreading and help save your tooth.
Make EnquiryWe know that many patients feel anxious about root canal treatment, but our gentle and patient-focused approach ensures you’re in safe hands from start to finish.
Assessment & X-rays
We’ll begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection.
Local Anaesthetic
A local anaesthetic will be applied to numb the area, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
Removing the Infection
We’ll carefully remove the infected pulp from inside the tooth before cleaning and disinfecting the root canals.
Sealing the Tooth
Once cleaned, the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.
Restoration
In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to strengthen and protect the tooth following treatment.
A root canal is often no more uncomfortable than having a filling. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and many patients are surprised by how painless the experience is. In fact, the treatment is designed to relieve pain — not cause it.

Since your mouth may be numb for a few hours after treatment, it’s best to have a light meal beforehand.

Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the case.
In many cases, especially for back teeth, a crown is recommended to strengthen the tooth and restore its appearance.
With proper care, a tooth treated with root canal therapy can last for many years — even a lifetime.
