Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity or swelling can sometimes indicate infection or inflammation inside a tooth.

Our dentists assess your tooth carefully before recommending treatment, using clinical examination and dental imaging when required.

Professional Treatment

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also known as RCT or endodontic treatment, is used when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed, infected or damaged.

During treatment, the affected tissue is removed, the root canals are carefully cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed to help protect the tooth.

If you are experiencing tooth pain but are unsure about the cause, a Routine Dental Checkup can help your dentist evaluate the tooth and determine the appropriate treatment.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

You should consider a dental examination if you experience:

  • Persistent or severe toothache
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • Swelling or tenderness around a tooth
  • A cracked or badly damaged tooth
  • Signs of infection around the gums

These symptoms do not always mean that you need a root canal. A dentist should examine the tooth and may take an X-ray before making a diagnosis.

How Is Root Canal Treatment Done?

Your treatment begins with an examination to assess the affected tooth.

Root canal therapy may involve:

  1. 01

    Dental examination and X-rays when required

  2. 02

    Local anaesthesia for patient comfort

  3. 03

    Removal of infected or inflamed pulp

  4. 04

    Cleaning and shaping of the root canals

  5. 05

    Filling and sealing the cleaned canals

  6. 06

    Restoring and protecting the treated tooth

Depending on how much tooth structure remains, a Dental Crown may be recommended after root canal treatment to help protect and restore the tooth.

Root Canal or Tooth Extraction?

The aim of root canal treatment is generally to preserve a natural tooth when it can be successfully restored.

However, some severely damaged teeth may not be suitable for root canal therapy. In these cases, your dentist may discuss Tooth Extraction and suitable tooth-replacement options.

The best choice depends on the condition of the tooth, surrounding tissues and your overall oral health.
