What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside the tooth.
It involves:
- Removing infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth
- Cleaning and disinfecting the root canals
- Sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection
- Restoring strength with a filling or crown
It is designed to save your natural tooth and eliminate pain caused by infection or decay.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is one of the most effective ways to preserve a natural tooth. Key benefits include:
- Saves your natural tooth instead of extraction
- Relieves pain and removes infection
- Prevents spread of infection to other teeth
- Restores normal chewing and function
- Long-lasting and highly successful treatment
- Performed with precision and modern techniques
- Helps maintain your natural smile
Who Is Root Canal Treatment Suitable For?
Root canal treatment is recommended for patients with infected or severely decayed teeth that can still be saved.
✔ Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
✔ Swelling or tenderness in gums
✔ Deep decay reaching the nerve
✔ Dental abscess or infection
✔ Tooth discolouration due to nerve damage
In cases where the tooth cannot be saved, extraction may be recommended instead.
- Performed with precision and modern techniques
- Helps maintain your natural smile
Root Canal Aftercare
Proper aftercare helps ensure healing and long-term success:
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until restored
- Maintain good brushing and flossing habits
- Take pain relief if recommended

Mild sensitivity after treatment is normal and usually settles quickly.
