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.

Fantastic treatment by Dr. Naomi and her professional (and glamorous) support team. Had two roots removed in under an hour, minimal pain. A very empathic surgeon.
An amazing emergency dental response - We had an amazing experience with McEvoy Dental Clinic - our son lost his front tooth due to an accident and within 1 hour we had our son in the clinic and his tooth put back in - Dr Jannis Heinrich and his team were amazing!
This is an excellent dentist practice. Shane is a really lovely dentist and he makes me feel so comfortable every time I go to have my teeth checked. He gives great advice about keeping my teeth looking good! All of the staff are so kind. I would highly recommend Kildare Dental Centre to anybody.
Lovely friendly staff from the nurses to the dentists. Really clean and safe, with stress free treatments.
Both my husband and I had a check up and clean with Dr Rory and his assistant. Very pleasant experience, Dr Rory is gentle and found him very thorough performing an oral cancer screening and perio check of my gums during the exam which not all dentists do. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs up from us!
What can I say about McEvoy Dental? It is absolutely phenomenal. The waiting area is spotlessly clean, as are the doctors’ offices. Natalie at reception is extremely personable and friendly, ensuring all patients are well looked after. Dr. Jannis is highly knowledgeable and professional. I wish I could give them more stars. Well done, McEvoy Dental, you have an exceptional clinic.
I came across the Dental House Castleknock Orthodontics & Implant Care's website on Google when I searched for orthodontists around the Blanchardstown area and thankfully, my first consultation with Dr Perry was quickly arranged. Before I attended my first consultation, I was concerned about the different factors that may potentially affect my personal or work life because of undergoing a braces treatment. However, I felt reassured after our discussion as Dr Perry patiently explained my situation and provided different suggestions (or perspectives). Then I was greeted by Gabby when I had my first appointment, and honestly speaking, I have been restless for this appointment. Thankfully, Gabby and the team's professionalism and kindness have made this appointment a more lighthearted and smooth event. It has been around 18 months since my first appointment, and I have removed my braces this morning! I am very grateful for the time I have spent with the Dental House Castleknock Orthodontics & Implant Care team; it was a professional, kind, and reassuring experience.
Myself and my partner got composite bonding done with Dr Hazem. I have to say his work is outstanding. Also, the girls at the reception Tracy and Lorraine are very helpful and very professional. We definitely have found a top-class dental practice . We are both delighted with our new smile.
Dr Ronan is one of the best doctors and best person I have met and also the great team at the clinic, everyone is so nice and helpful. I went for an Invisalign treatment and it was done very well with everyone’s support.
After many years of avoiding dental visits I developed severe dental issues. I attended Dr Renan and he changed my life for the better. Since getting my implants, I am no longer embarrassed to speak or smile. The care was second to none. Dara is also amazing. She made me feel so relaxed during each visit and Dr Renan was so kind and gentle. All reception staff lovely too. I could not recommend Friary Court Dental highly enough.
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 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.

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.
