Root Canal Treatment

Comfortable, precise root canal treatment to save your natural tooth, eliminate infection, and relieve dental pain at Dentapex Dental Clinic, Dommasandra.

About This Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (RCT), also called endodontic treatment, is a procedure used to save a tooth that has been severely damaged by deep decay, infection, or trauma. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp (nerve tissue) from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing the tooth.

Contrary to popular myths, modern root canal treatment is not painful in fact, it relieves the significant pain caused by tooth infection. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the procedure is.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

  • Severe toothache or throbbing pain that doesn't subside
  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • Deep cavities that have reached the dental pulp
  • Swelling, abscess, or infection in the gums near a tooth
  • Discolouration of a tooth due to nerve damage
  • Dental trauma or a tooth fracture exposing the pulp
  • Severe pain on biting or chewing

The Procedure Step by Step

1
Diagnosis & X-ray
A dental X-ray is taken to assess the extent of infection and plan the procedure.
2
Local Anaesthesia
The tooth and surrounding area are numbed completely so you feel comfortable throughout.
3
Pulp Removal
The infected pulp is carefully removed and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
4
Filling & Sealing
Canals are filled with a biocompatible material and the tooth is sealed to prevent re-infection.
5
Crown Placement
A dental crown is placed to protect the treated tooth and restore full function.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. With modern local anaesthesia, root canal treatment is very comfortable. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but you should not feel sharp pain. Most patients are surprised at how manageable the procedure is.
Most root canal treatments are completed in 1–2 visits. Simple cases may be completed in a single appointment. More complex cases or teeth with severe infections may require two visits to ensure the canals are properly disinfected before sealing.
In most cases, yes. After root canal treatment, the tooth becomes more brittle and susceptible to fracture. A dental crown restores the tooth's strength, function, and appearance, and significantly extends its lifespan.
With proper care including a protective crown and good oral hygiene, a root canal-treated tooth can last many years often a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups are important to monitor the tooth's health.
Saving your natural tooth with root canal treatment is almost always the better option. Natural teeth provide better chewing efficiency, maintain jaw bone density, and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting. Tooth replacement (implant or bridge) is more expensive than saving the original tooth.
