Root Canal Treatment

Relieve pain with root canal treatment

Patients typically need a root canal at Care Dental when the tooth’s pulp becomes irreversibly inflamed or infected, often due to deep decay, fractures, or severe gum disease. Without treatment, the infection can lead to abscesses, causing significant pain and swelling. A root canal helps eliminate these symptoms and preserves the natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.

What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment is a procedure to remove infected or damaged pulp from the tooth, clean the root canals, and seal them with a rubber material to prevent further infection.

Is root canal treatment painful?

No, the procedure is typically painless as the tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic. Most patients find it no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.

How long does a root canal last?

With proper care, a root canal can last a lifetime. However, a crown may be necessary to protect the tooth from fractures after the procedure.

It's best to avoid chewing on the treated side until the numbness wears off and the final restoration is completed. This helps protect the filling or crown and prevents discomfort.
