What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged by decay, infection, or trauma. It involves removing the infected or inflamed dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels), cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, then filling and sealing them.

Contrary to popular belief, modern root canal treatment is virtually painless - thanks to advanced anaesthesia techniques and microsurgical instruments. In fact, most patients say the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

At SaphireDent, we use rotary endodontic systems, electronic apex locators, and dental microscopes to ensure the highest precision and success rates.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

  • Save your natural tooth - Extraction should always be a last resort
  • Pain relief - Eliminates the source of infection and pain
  • Virtually painless procedure - Modern techniques make it comfortable
  • Prevent spread of infection - Stops bacteria from spreading to neighbouring teeth and jaw
  • Maintain natural appearance - Your tooth looks and functions normally after treatment

  • Large fillings that have weakened the tooth structure

The Root Canal Process - Step by Step

Step 1: Diagnosis and X-ray

We take detailed X-rays and conduct tests to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of infection.

Step 2: Local Anaesthesia

The tooth and surrounding area are completely numbed with local anaesthesia. You won't feel any pain during the procedure.

Step 3: Pulp Removal

A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth. Using specialised instruments, the infected pulp is carefully removed from the chamber and root canals.

Step 4: Cleaning and Shaping

The canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped using rotary instruments and irrigating solutions to eliminate all bacteria.

Step 5: Filling and Sealing

The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent reinfection.

Step 6: Crown Placement

In most cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to protect it and restore its full strength and function.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is root canal treatment painful?

No. With modern anaesthesia, the procedure is virtually painless. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable it is.

How long does a root canal take?

Most root canal treatments take 60-90 minutes and are completed in a single visit.

What happens if I don't get a root canal?

Without treatment, the infection can spread to surrounding teeth, the jawbone, and even other parts of the body. The tooth will eventually need extraction.

How long does a root canal tooth last?

With proper care and a dental crown, a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime.

Do I need a crown after root canal?

In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth and restores its full function. Back teeth almost always need crowns.

Can a root canal fail?

While rare (5% of cases), root canals can occasionally fail due to complicated canal anatomy or reinfection. Retreatment is usually successful.

Aftercare & Maintenance

First 24-48 Hours

  • Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until permanent restoration is placed
  • Take prescribed pain medication if needed (usually over-the-counter is sufficient)
  • Some mild discomfort is normal and should subside within a few days
  • Avoid extremely hot or cold foods

After Crown Placement

  • Treat the tooth like any other - brush and floss normally
  • Avoid biting on very hard objects
  • Visit your dentist for regular check-ups every 6 months

When to Contact Us

  • If pain or swelling worsens after 3-4 days
  • If the temporary filling falls out
