Root canals are necessary when the pulp layer of a tooth becomes infected. The procedure is generally comfortable and saves the natural tooth, prevents the spread of infection, and returns your mouth to it's complete health.

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal treatment is performed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged from within. Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma, it can cause persistent pain and swelling.

During a root canal, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to restore strength and protect the treated tooth.

Modern root canal treatment is a precise and comfortable procedure that focuses on preserving your natural tooth whenever possible. Saving the original tooth helps maintain proper chewing function, supports surrounding teeth, and often eliminates the need for extraction or replacement.

The Root Canal Procedure

Root canal treatment begins with a detailed examination and digital X-rays to determine the extent of the infection. Once the area is comfortably numbed with local anaesthesia, a small opening is created to access the infected pulp inside the tooth.

The damaged tissue is removed, and the root canals are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using specialised instruments. After the canals are thoroughly cleaned, they are filled with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth and reduce the risk of future infection.

Depending on the condition of the tooth, a permanent filling or a dental crown may be placed to restore its strength, function, and appearance.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients return to their normal routine the same day or the following day. Mild tenderness around the treated tooth is common and usually improves within a few days.

Until the tooth has been permanently restored, avoid chewing hard foods on the treated side. Continue brushing and flossing as usual, take any prescribed medication as directed, and attend your follow-up appointment if recommended. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups play an important role in the long-term success of a root canal-treated tooth.
