Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a restorative treatment that removes infection from inside a tooth while preserving its natural structure. When bacteria reach the inner chamber of the tooth, they can cause severe pain and put your oral health at risk.

Root canal treatment eliminates infection, relieves discomfort, and saves the tooth from extraction.

When infection or deep decay reaches the centre of a tooth, it can cause significant pain and damage. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, disinfects the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further issues.

This treatment not only stops infection but also preserves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction or replacement. With root canal therapy, you can:

• Find relief from severe pain and sensitivity
  
• Stop infection from spreading to other teeth or gums
  
• Maintain your natural tooth structure for long-term function
  
• Avoid the need for bridges, implants, or dentures

Saving your natural tooth helps maintain proper alignment, chewing ability, and overall oral health, giving you both comfort and confidence in your smile.

At our clinic, root canal therapy is performed with precision and care to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Here’s how it works:

After your root canal treatment, mild tenderness or sensitivity is normal for a few days. This can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication, as recommended by your dentist. To promote healing:

• Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods for a few days
  
• Keep the area clean with gentle brushing and flossing
  
• Use a saltwater rinse to reduce swelling if needed
  
• Apply an ice pack for short periods if soreness occurs



Most patients return to normal activities quickly, with discomfort subsiding within two or three days.
