About Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the root canals, and fills them to prevent reinfection. It saves a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. The procedure has a success rate of over 95%.

What to Expect

Under local anaesthesia, the dentist drills into the tooth to access the pulp chamber. Infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, then filled with gutta-percha. A crown is usually recommended afterward. The procedure takes 1–2 visits of 60–90 minutes each.
