Root Canal Treatment: Preserving Your Natural Tooth

When infection or damage affects the pulp (the innermost part of the tooth), root canal therapy is often the only way to save the tooth and eliminate pain. The infected tissue is removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored with a filling or crown.

Understanding the Process

Each tooth contains dental pulp made up of nerves and blood vessels. When this becomes inflamed or infected, symptoms may include pain, swelling, sensitivity, or discoloration.

Treatment involves:

Removal of infected tissue
Thorough cleaning and disinfection
Sealing the canals with a biocompatible material
Final restoration with a filling or crown

FAQs

Endodontics

What is endodontic treatment?

It’s the treatment of the dental pulp to eliminate infection and save the tooth. Commonly called root canal treatment.

Does it hurt?

Not with modern techniques. We use local anaesthetic, and most patients report no more discomfort than a standard filling.

How long does it take?

Most cases are completed in one or two visits. Complex cases may require additional time.

What happens after treatment?

The tooth will be sealed and often restored with a crown for strength. Some post-treatment tenderness is normal.

Is root canal better than extraction?

Yes: Retaining your natural tooth helps maintain jaw structure and chewing function. Extraction may require further treatment like implants or dentures.
