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.

Hi my experience with Friary Court Dental has been life changing for me. From the day I walked in for a consultation with Professor of Implantology Dr Renan Devita and Dental nurse Dara Maher, Dr Devita went through all the procedures in detail. The care and after care was second to none. The compliments that I have got after my implants are amazing. My whole mouth was reconstructed by Dr Devita (I got my smile back). The price was reasonable. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for implants to give Friary Court Dental a call.
Excellent! I am generally nervous when it comes to dentist appointments and, sadly, have been putting them away time after time because of that and previous not-so-great-experience with dentists in my life. But at Pearls I felt instantly welcomed and at ease, thanks to both staff at the reception desk and also the dentist and nurse themselves. The dentist explained every process of the exam to me and gave me suggestions for options regarding my treatment plan and I also felt I am in good hands and in a friendly environment. I would not had said this before, but I am looking forward to my next appointment at Pearls Maynooth. Thank you.
First time going to balbriggan dental and implant clinic I went to the hygienist Elaine she made me feel very at ease and she is excellent at her job and very polite , the receptionist Tracy and Lorraine are very polite and helpful I highly recommend this dentist
Brought our eldest here. She's nervous generally about the dentist but Suzanne in Pearls Dental was great with her altogether now. She piped up in the car on the way home 'daddy, not all dentists are bad just some of them'. Says it all, 5 star service with smiles!
I’ve visited the dental clinic for the first time today and I have to say the service and attention to detail have been outstanding. My dental issue was fixed within the hour and I left a very satisfied customer. Dr Darren (I hope I got the name and person right) took very good care of my teeth explained the whole procedure in detail and made sure I’m aware of any potential issues that might come up in the future based on his assessment. I want to say thank you to the whole team for the quick turnaround as I needed the appointment sooner and I will be definitely a returning patient.
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.
I'm normally very nervous at the dentist but the experience I had at sundrive dentist put me completely at ease The dentist and nurse were so gentle and so professional Did a great job on my teeth and made me feel ill go back Sorry I can't remember the dentists name but thank you so much sundrive dental
Excellent service and sensitive treatment, I was made to feel very comfortable both with the front of house staff and also Dr Rahman, I would highly recommend them to anyone and will certainly be back in the future if I need anything.
Suzanne (dentist) and Julia (nurse) were amazing! I would normally be quite nervous going to the dentist, but they put me at ease immediately. Suzanne was very knowledgable and really put care and thought into describing the pros and cons of each of my treatment options. Thanks guys!
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.
