Dental: Root Canal - private or NHS - what's the difference

Just wondering in the interests of money saving if there really is a difference between getting a root canal done via the NHS (£42) or privately (£240).

My dentist said that they can use a lot of different and better tools if done privately, but can't use them if doing on the NHS.

And by the way - can anyone tell me how (ona weekend) to dull the pain of an infection under the said root canal tooth - I'm taking co-codromol and ibuprofen 400 3 of each every 4 hours??
