What are the signs that I will need a root canal treatment?

Some signs that you need a root canal treatment include a severe toothache, especially upon biting, a sensitivity or pain to temperatures even after the source has been removed from the mouth, a darkened or discoloured tooth, swelling, tenderness or recurring pimple on the gums.

When will I be able to resume daily activities?

You can typically resume normal daily activities on the same day. However, please avoid chewing or biting on the treated tooth until it is restored by the dentist.

Root canal treatment is done under local anaesthesia. The objective of root canal treatment is to relieve the toothache due to inflammation or infection of the tooth pulp. Just take note that for the first few days after treatment, your tooth may feel sensitive, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure. To manage this, take the medication prescribed by our dentist.

How long does a root canal take?

Depending on the severity of the infection in your tooth, a root canal can take between 30 to 90 minutes to complete. The procedure may also require multiple appointments to allow the tooth to dry before disinfecting and filling, which will affect the total length of time required.

How long will the root canal-treated teeth last?

In most cases, your root canal-treated tooth will last as long as your other natural teeth. In rare instances, the tooth may also become painful or infected even after a successful treatment. This usually signifies new decay or leakage. We can perform the root canal treatment again to salvage your tooth.
