What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure that treats infection at the center of a tooth. It involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.

FAQ
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern techniques and effective anaesthesia make root canal treatments relatively painless. Most patients report that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
The length of the procedure depends on the complexity of the tooth and the type of infection, but typically it can be completed in one to two visits, each lasting about 90 minutes.
Can I eat normally after a root canal treatment?
It’s advised to wait until the numbness wears off before eating to avoid biting your cheek or tongue. After that, you should be able to eat normally, but it’s best to avoid very hard or chewy foods until the tooth is fully restored.
How successful are root canal treatments?
Root canal treatments have a high success rate, with many teeth fixed with a root canal lasting a lifetime. However, the effectiveness can depend on the extent of infection and the quality of care.
What are the alternatives to a root canal?
The main alternative to a root canal is tooth extraction. However, it’s generally best to keep your natural teeth if possible. Extracted teeth should be replaced with an implant or bridge to avoid shifting of the teeth and jaw problems.
How do I care for my tooth after a root canal?
Good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups, are essential. Avoid chewing on hard foods with the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a crown or filling.
Will I need a crown after my root canal?
In most cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will need a crown to protect it from future damage and restore its function.
How much does a root canal treatment cost?
The cost of a root canal will vary depending on the severity of the problem and which tooth is affected. We provide a detailed estimate after a thorough examination and discuss all available payment options.
Is root canal treatment covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of root canal treatment. We recommend checking with your provider for specific details of your coverage.
How do I know if my child needs a root canal?
Similar to adults, children might need a root canal if there is severe tooth decay or an injury that damages the tooth’s nerve. Symptoms can include pain, sensitivity, swelling, and a noticeable change in tooth colour.
What happens if I don't get a root canal?
Avoiding a root canal can lead to increased pain, the spread of infection to other parts of the mouth or body, and eventually, the loss of the affected tooth.
Are there any dietary restrictions after a root canal?
Immediately after the procedure, it’s best to avoid hot beverages and chewy, hard, or crunchy foods. Once the numbness wears off and your tooth is fully restored, you can return to your normal diet.
How long will my tooth last after a root canal?
With proper care, a tooth that has had a root canal can last a lifetime. The longevity also depends on how quickly you get a crown after the procedure and how well you maintain oral hygiene.
Can I go to work or school after a root canal?
Yes, most people can return to work or school immediately after a root canal. However, you might experience some mild discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What is the difference between a root canal and a filling?
A filling is used to repair a small area of decay on a tooth, while a root canal is a more extensive procedure that removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth.
How do I prepare for a root canal treatment?
No special preparation is usually needed. It’s recommended to eat a normal meal beforehand and avoid alcohol. If you’re anxious, talk to your dentist about sedation options.
What technology is used during a root canal?
We use advanced technology such as digital X-rays, dental microscopes, and rotary endodontics to ensure precision and comfort during the procedure.
How do I prepare for a root canal treatment?
Yes, a tooth with a root canal can still get cavities. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are important to prevent decay.
