Discover how root canal therapy protects your smile

Three

Prevent future complications

By removing infection and sealing the tooth, root canal treatment helps prevent abscesses and further oral health issues.

One

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.

Two

Relief from pain

An infected tooth can cause severe pain and sensitivity. Root canal treatment removes the infection, providing lasting relief.

Four

Protect your oral health

After a root canal, the tooth is often restored with a crown, strengthening it for long-term function and appearance.

Excellent customer service. Got invisalign braces and went from crooked teeth to straight teeth pain free, no tightening needed, no metal mouth cuts and all in 8months. Felt really taken care of. Great staff and great service

I don't usually write reviews online, but after today's consultation with Dr. Gosia, I feel compelled to share my experience and recommend this dental clinic to everyone. I scheduled an appointment because I've been wearing braces for a year, which I had gotten at a different clinic, and I had a feeling that the person handling my treatment was not doing it properly and was unnecessarily prolonging it. I received a referral to Dr. Gosia, so I booked an appointment and was warmly welcomed. The diagnosis was done very professionally, including a dental scan and x-rays. I also learned about the treatment plan, its conclusion, and the post-treatment checkup. Everything is included in the price at this clinic, and they truly pay attention to every detail to ensure that the patient is happy with their new smile. I'd like to add that Dr. Gosia was not only highly professional but also incredibly kind and friendly. Her warm and caring demeanor made the whole experience even more pleasant, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist to guide me through this journey to a healthier smile.

For someone who is absolutely terrified of the dentist I had a great experience. Dr Anna completely put me at ease and made sure I was ok throughout the experience. The surgery itself is exceptionally clean and the reception staff member was incredibly nice and again put me at ease when I came in.

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.

Our son completed his treatment this week and is delighted with the results . Dr Perry , Gabby and all the team were terrific throughout and the whole experience was excellent and stress free. Our daughter just got her braces this week and I'm confident she will have the same great results. The whole team are so professional and helpful and very accommodating when it comes to appointments and visits. I highly recommend Dr Perry and his team Karen

Dr Boggs is hands down the best dentist we've ever had. My son woke up howling of pain in his back molar, it was a complete nightmare. I brought him to Dr. Boggs And it turns out an absolute eejit dentist in Athlone botched his filling. Absolutely shocking. Dr. Shane not only alleviated the pain but sorted the tooth and did so with a gentle and loving hand. That was my son, Ciaran. I won’t even get into the problems with Mickey’s root canal. but the jist of it is I thank my lucky stars for Dr Boggs and Kildare dental; without whom as a parent you’ll never get a proper night sleep again!

I had a fantastic experience at Friary Court Dental Clinic! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. The clinic itself was spotless and modern, which immediately made me feel at ease. Dr. Maria was amazing—very gentle, thorough, and took the time to explain every step of the procedure. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the fact that she made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Booking an appointment was easy, and they were right on time. It’s clear that they prioritize both patient care and efficiency. I’m so glad I found this clinic—I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family!

What should I know before getting a root canal?

Everything you need to know about root canal treatment in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare

Root canal

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.

Root canal

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.

Root canal

How does a root canal work?

After numbing your tooth with local anaesthetic, your dentist removes the infected pulp and cleans the root canals thoroughly. The canals are then filled with a biocompatible material and sealed. A crown or large filling is usually placed afterwards to restore the tooth’s strength.

Your consultation

We’ll assess your tooth with an examination and X-rays to confirm if a root canal is the best option. Our team will answer your questions and explain the treatment clearly.

Preparing your tooth

Local anaesthetic ensures your tooth is completely numb. Your dentist carefully opens the tooth to access the infected pulp and root canals.

Cleaning and filling

The infected tissue is removed and the canals are disinfected. They are then filled with a special material to prevent bacteria from returning.

Restoring your tooth

A temporary or permanent crown or filling is placed to protect the tooth. This restores both strength and appearance, allowing you to chew normally again.

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.

Do I always need a crown afterwards?

Not always, but most root canal teeth are restored with a crown to provide extra strength. Your dentist will discuss whether a crown or large filling is the right option.

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.
