Root Canal Treatment

Service Description

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth. Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely. How painful is root canal treatment? Before having root canal treatment, you'll usually be given a local anaesthetic. This means the procedure should be painless and no more unpleasant than having a filling. How long does a root canal take to heal? For most patients, root canal recovery only takes a few days. You'll probably experience some mild soreness for the first 24 to 48 hours after your procedure, but taking over-the-counter pain medication or applying a cold compress should be enough to manage it. Do I need a crown after a root canal? The need for a crown is typically determined by the amount of remaining tooth structure after a root canal. Generally, if more than half of the tooth is gone, a crown is indicated to restore the tooth's structural integrity. Is root canal a major surgery? When a non-surgical root canal fails or is not enough to save the tooth, a surgical root canal, also known as endodontic surgery or root canal re-treatment, becomes necessary. This minor surgery is done under local anesthetic to numb the area being treated.
