Root canals have an unfair reputation. With modern techniques and proper anaesthesia it feels much like having a filling, and it’s what ends the pain rather than what causes it. We remove the infected tissue from inside the tooth, clean and seal the canals, and you keep the tooth instead of losing it. At Toothi in Edgware we take our time over it.
Do I need root canal treatment?
- ✓ Throbbing toothache, especially at night or when biting
- ✓ Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t fade
- ✓ A darkened tooth, or a pimple-like spot on the gum
- ✓ Swelling around a tooth, which may be an abscess and needs looking at soon
Left alone, the infection spreads and the tooth is usually lost. If any of this sounds familiar, book an examination (£55) or an emergency appointment (£65). The earlier we catch it, the simpler the treatment.

How root canal treatment works
Diagnosis
An examination and X-rays confirm the infection and show whether the tooth can be saved. If it can’t, we’ll say so.
Pain Relief (Extirpation)
We remove the infected nerve tissue under full anaesthesia. This first stage (£350) usually stops the pain the same day.
Cleaning & Sealing
The canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed so the infection can’t come back (£450–£600 in total, depending on the tooth).
Protecting the Tooth
Back teeth usually need a crown afterwards (from £595) to protect them long term. We’ll tell you whether yours does.

Root canal FAQs
Does root canal treatment hurt?
The treatment itself shouldn’t. It’s done under full local anaesthesia, and most people say it’s like having a large filling. The infection is what hurts. The root canal stops it.
How much does root canal treatment cost in Edgware?
£450–£600 at Toothi depending on the tooth, with first-stage pain relief at £350. A protective crown afterwards is from £595. 0% finance is available over 10 months.
How long does it take?
Usually one or two visits of about an hour each. Awkward molars may need a second visit to finish cleaning and sealing the canals.
Is it better to just take the tooth out?
Keeping your own tooth is almost always better in the long run. An extraction (£145+) leaves a gap that often ends up needing a bridge, denture or implant (from £1,995). We’ll go through both options for your tooth.
How long does a root-canal-treated tooth last?
With a good seal, and a crown where it’s needed, a root-treated tooth can last many years, often for life. Look after it like any other tooth: brush well and keep up your check-ups.
