If you’re experiencing severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity or swelling around a tooth, the nerve inside the tooth may have become infected. Left untreated, this infection can spread and may eventually lead to tooth loss.
At Face Studio Clinic, we provide gentle root canal treatment to remove infection, relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible. Our experienced dentists use modern techniques and advanced technology to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure used to treat infection within the centre of a tooth.
During treatment, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed to prevent further infection. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended afterwards to strengthen and protect the tooth for the long term.
Saving your natural tooth is always our priority, helping you maintain your smile, bite and oral health.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
You may require root canal treatment if you experience:
Persistent toothache
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Pain when biting or chewing
Swelling around the tooth or gums
A dental abscess
A darkened or discoloured tooth
Previous trauma or injury to a tooth
Sometimes an infected tooth causes very few symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are so important.
FAQs
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and is usually no more uncomfortable than having a filling. The aim of treatment is to relieve pain caused by an infected tooth.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Treatment is often completed in one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of the infection.
Will I need a crown after root canal treatment?
Back teeth often benefit from a dental crown after root canal treatment to protect them from fracture. Your dentist will advise whether this is recommended for your tooth.
What happens if I don't have root canal treatment?
Without treatment, the infection is unlikely to resolve on its own. It may spread, leading to increased pain, swelling, a dental abscess or ultimately the loss of the tooth.
Is it better to remove the tooth instead?
Where possible, saving your natural tooth is usually the best option. Root canal treatment allows you to retain your natural bite and avoids the need for replacement options such as dental implants or bridges.
How successful is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment has a very high success rate when carried out correctly and followed by a well-sealed restoration, such as a filling or crown, alongside good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

Went in for a facial, came out felling like a new man! I’ve recommended so many people here after. They done miracles on my brother achene! Staff are super friendly
It was my first time visiting the clinic today and I have to say I was extremely happy with the service. I came in for the tear trough treatment and was really happy with the results. The process was explained to me thoroughly so I was very confident that I was in good hands. Through out the treatment the Doctor reassured me and talked me through it all. So I felt calm the whole time. Very happy with the results, I definitely look more alive haha. I also purchased some skincare. So I am very excited to start my clear skin journey!

I would trust no other place! Dr Mariam and Fatemah know their stuff. Advice and treatments I’ve experienced are unmatched. I love their energy and make my appointments before I’ve landed in the country. Face Studio Clinic is my go to.
I had the Perfect Peel done a year ago and it was the best decision I've ever made. Years of sun damage due to living in Dubai peeled off, pores shrunk, pimple scars faded away, all in a matter of weeks. Big thanks to lead skin therapist Fatima for taking me in!
I had a lovely experience at Face Studio Clinic Birmingham for my first ever Hydrafacial.Dr Nabila and Dr Fatima explained thoroughly about my current skin issues which I expressed concerns for.Considering it was my first ever Facial, I had the most amazing experience ever. It was very relaxing and I was told about each and every step with the benefits too.Thank you Both, I look forward to meeting you again in 5 weeks to re-assess my skin with the products suggested/purchased. 🤍
Professional, knowledgeable and honest. Top quality treatments from skilled staff who you can trust.Dr Fatima has tailored her treatments and skincare products to completely transform my previously acne prone skin and it has never looked more healthy and glowing.

Dr Mariam is a professional at providing a natural filler look. She is able to put you at ease and knows exactly what will work for you without you having to even say anything.

Ive lived in Qatar and come home to see family regularly. The gulf has some of the best aesthetics clinics around, and honestly face is the best i have been to! Dr Mariams needle technique is beyond amazing, of-course with over ten years experience as a dentist- i would trust bo one else to do any procedure on my face due to risks and complications but being a doctor of the head and neck i put my trust in her and the results are outstanding. Also i only do facials at face now, these fancy places i have been to in the gulf dont even compare the the tailored hydro facial Ms Fatima gave me- i was glowing for days and received so many compliments!! If there was 7 stars on reviews i would have ticked that!
Todays appointment couldn’t have gone any smoother, I was taken through every step and everything was explained clearly and precisely to me. Staff are absolutely welcoming and calming, which is exactly what I needed.Thank u!Looking forward to my next appointment.
