No. The treatment itself is pain-free and designed to alleviate discomfort caused by the infection itself. No more infection – no more pain!
If you’re suffering from a bacterial infection deep inside the tooth, then chances are you’ll know about it. Symptoms include a foul taste stemming from the infected tooth followed by intense throbbing pain. If this is the case, you’ll probably need a root canal.
Understandably, the thought of undergoing this type of treatment is enough to cause anxiety, but the truth is, it doesn’t have to. Our highly experienced team provides effective root canal treatment in Reading using the latest techniques to get you out of pain fast.
Our dentists are experienced in performing standard endodontic (tooth root) treatments and are highly skilled in the art of gentle dentistry. Their calming demeanour, assuring nature and precision treatment means that patients feel confident in their ability to alleviate the problem quickly and efficiently.
Here’s what you can expect:
Simple root canal treatments in Reading typically take 30 minutes to 1 hour, although you may have to return to have a dental crown fitted to protect the tooth in the long term.
We make your comfort and well-being a priority here at Reading Dental Spa, and that includes alleviating pain. The use of smaller precision instruments, for example, allows the removal of infected tissue without impacting the remaining tooth structure, while enhanced imaging allows for accurate treatment planning, meaning we can get to the cause of the problem faster and more efficiently.
Additionally, high-grade materials help to better seal the area to safeguard against re-infection. All of this equates to a more comfortable and efficient root canal treatment in Reading that gets you out of pain fast.
If you suspect you have a tooth root infection, call our dental centre without delay. We normally set aside times in our schedule for treating emergency cases, so call us on 01183 272 322 so we can help.

It depends. A crown is often the best way to protect a tooth that has been weakened by infection. However, every case is assessed on its own merits.
The team at Reading Dental Spa are experienced in dealing with anxious or nervous patients, and we won’t start any treatment until you feel relaxed enough for us to do so. We also provide noise-cancelling headphones and TV screens to take your mind off treatments if the need arises.
Essentially, you’ll be pain-free, but your jaw may feel sore, and the tooth in question may be a little tender once the anaesthetic wears off. We normally recommend over-the-counter pain control like Aspirin or Ibuprofen to help, but after a few days, you should be back to normal.
