Discover how root canal therapy protects your smile
Prevent future complications
By removing infection and sealing the tooth, root canal treatment helps prevent abscesses and further oral health issues.
Save your natural tooth
Root canals allow us to clean and repair infected teeth instead of removing them. This protects your natural bite and prevents the need for more complex treatment.
Relief from pain
An infected tooth can cause severe pain and sensitivity. Root canal treatment removes the infection, providing lasting relief.
Protect your oral health
After a root canal, the tooth is often restored with a crown, strengthening it for long-term function and appearance.

Visited Kildare Dental Centre for a checkup and a cleaning. Very impressed with clinic, staff and the dentist. Highly recommended!
After a bad experience from a previous dentist years ago I was a nervous wreck, but from the minute I arrived I was put at ease from the receptionist my dentist Ratham and the dental nurse were excellent everything was explained to me I was made feel very comfortable the experience was pain free I'm glad to say at last I have found my new dentist 10 outta 10 wonderful staff thankyou so much😊
Had the best experience with dr. Oana Ursache, got composite bonding on one tooth and it came out perfect. A really pleasant experience and felt completely taken care of.
I started my smile journey last November with Dr. Hazem and from my first consultant to my final teeth I have to say I am absolutely blown away with the whole experience and results. Totally pain free extractions and I even had a filling done without anaesthetic and never felt a thing. Aftercare was amazing and Dr. Hazem ensured that I was happy with my results.
Got some long overdue dental work done recently. Have to say very happy with the service .Very professional and satisfying. Shauna and all the staff are an excellent team . Highly recommended 👌
Brilliant team and brilliant service. I had an emergency recently and Chloe, Selena and Dr Shane took first class care of me. Couldn’t recommend them more, true professionals and kind also
Paul and Clodagh are respectively possibly the best dentist and dental hygienist in Dublin. They have looked after me for years and have always done so with great skill, the utmost of care, sensitivity and effectiveness. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Great friendly crew. Super seamless. My old front tooth composite fell out before work and they got me booked in for 9:30am the next day. Dentist was totally sound, did a great job and wasn't crazy pushy with the upsells like other brands I could mention. WIll 100% be back when I need something. Thanks!
Best dental experience I ever had. I was terrified of going but from the start AnnMarie answered all my questions by email she was so helpful then greeted me with a friendly smile at the front desk. Dr Sammy was amazing he made me feel at ease I wasn’t 20 minutes in the room and had my wisdom tooth extracted. I couldn’t believe I had no pain at all it was unbelievable. I’m now 2 days after and didn’t have to take a painkiller all went so smooth. Thanks again.
I decided to give Balbriggan Dental a try after putting it off for some time after hearing the good reviews, and they lived up to them. The dentist is absolutely lovely and really put my mind at ease, superb job! I'd recommend this place to anyone.
Everything you need to know about root canal treatment in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a treatment that removes infected pulp from inside a tooth. Once the infected tissue is removed, the root canal is cleaned, shaped, and filled to protect against further infection. Finally, the tooth is sealed and usually restored with a crown to bring back strength and function.
When might I need one?
Root canal treatment is needed when decay or damage allows bacteria to reach the pulp inside your tooth. Signs include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling of the gums, or a darkened tooth. If untreated, the infection can spread and cause an abscess.

Your root canal
questions answered
Are root canals painful?
Thanks to local anaesthetic, root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Patients in Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, and Balbriggan often comment that the treatment brought immediate relief compared to the pain of the infection itself.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments. The time depends on how many root canals the tooth has. Patients in Kimmage and Artane often complete treatment in less than two hours per visit.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
If infection spreads, it can cause an abscess, severe pain, and even lead to tooth loss. In some cases, emergency extraction is the only option. Patients across Dublin, Kilkenny and Kildare often find treating early avoids bigger problems later.
Can children or teenagers need root canals?
Yes - although less common, root canal treatment can sometimes be needed for younger patients. Our team in Dublin City Centre and Kilkenny provides gentle care to ensure children feel comfortable if this treatment is required.
