Pain relief
By undergoing root canal therapy, teeth can be restored to a healthy state and alleviate any discomfort associated with the condition.

[ 03 ]
Cleaning
The inner tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria or debris

Filling
The cleaned root canals are then sealed with a temporary filling, it to prevent any further infection and allowing the tooth to settle.

•Root Canal FAQs

Things patients often ask.

Is root canal treatment painful?

The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment begins, so the procedure itself shouldn’t be painful. Root canal treatment actually relieves the pain caused by the infected or damaged pulp, rather than causing it.

How many appointments does root canal treatment take?

This varies depending on the tooth and complexity of the case, but root canal treatment is often completed over two or more appointments. Your dentist will let you know what to expect based on your individual assessment.

What happens to the tooth after root canal treatment?

Once the root canal is complete, the tooth will usually need a filling or crown to restore its strength and protect it from future damage. Your dentist will discuss the most suitable option for your tooth.
