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.

The attention was impeccable! I was really worried about getting my wisdom teeth extracted but the dental assistants explained me all the process in order to make me feel more calmed.
We are very happy with Pearls Dental Clinic and Dr Perry and the whole team. They were at all times friendly and professional. My daughter had Invisalign and my son had braces and they both have really good results. Every appointment ran smoothly and all staff from the reception to the dentists were friendly, informative and very professional at all times. We would highly recommend Pearls to friends & family.
Very professional, caring and kind. Great job fixing my teeth, highly recommend 👌
Both myself and my son are attending Pearls Dental House in Maynooth for orthodontics treatment. I would highly recommend Dr.Perry as his knowledge and expertise really put me at ease . Our overall experience has been great with excellent communication and customer care . Both myself and my son have new smiles and are really happy with the final results.
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.
I had a fantastic experience at Sundrive Dental. I was in so much pain when I arrived, but Anne Marie, the receptionist, was warm and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Renan and Nurse Maria were amazing—professional yet personal. They assessed my situation quickly and performed the emergency procedure seamlessly, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. The clinic was spotless, and their infection control was top-notch. This team sets the bar high for dental care. Highly recommend!
Recently had some dental implants done by Balbriggan Dental & Impact Clinic. I was really nervous but Dr Bashara is so experienced and professional at his work - he put me completely at ease. There is a lovely, relaxed feeling when you walk in. Lorraine & Tracy are worth their weight in gold! Both very experienced dental nurses and EVERYTHING was explained before, during and after treatment. For anyone who is nervous of Dentists like me, I highly recommend this clinic. Thanks to all the staff for making an anxious patient so relaxed and not dreading any future appointments. Thanks again!
One of the most pleasant experiences of my life, I have spent the last two years visiting regularly for braces. Staff were always happy to see me and extremely pleasant. My teeth are perfect and I’m almost sad that the experience is over. Couldn’t recommend more.
Best dental experience of my life, had been putting off going to the dentist for too long and decided it was time to fix my smile. Dr Sammy resolved my dental issues and was completely transparent and honest through out the entire process, the actual dentistry was quick and painless for the most part, any questions I needed an answer to after the procedure was a phone call away and that is also majorly due to Ann Marie’s great customer service on the front desk. Highly recommend going to Sundrive dental.
I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Jannis Heinrich for his professional assistance in an emergency situation with my son. Dr. Heinrich not only provided prompt and high-quality treatment, but also showed incredible compassion and care, which greatly supported us during a difficult time. It is especially impressive how easily Dr. Heinrich connects with children. My son felt trust, and after having his tooth extracted, he walked out of the office with a smile on his face and now happily visits this dental clinic. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is a true master of his craft and a top-level professional. He treated my cavity quickly and painlessly, improved the aesthetics of my smile, and also successfully placed two crowns in just one day. He treats every patient with care and deep attention. Dr. Heinrich is a prime example of what a progressive, modern dentist should be — someone who truly loves their profession and their work! McEvoy Dental Clinic has a special atmosphere — it’s cozy, calm, and genuinely feels like home. A million thanks to the entire staff of McEvoy Dental Clinic for your warmth and the exceptionally high standards of medical service.
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.
