When decay or injury reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, it can cause severe pain, sensitivity and infection. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans the canal thoroughly and seals it — relieving pain and saving the tooth.
Contrary to popular myth, a root canal at Dentistry Diamond is a calm, controlled procedure done under local anaesthesia. Most patients tell us it felt no different from getting a filling done.
How It Works
A clear, step-by-step approach so you always know what to expect.
X-rays confirm the extent of infection in the tooth's root canal.
The area is fully numbed before any work begins.
Infected pulp is removed and the canal is cleaned and shaped.
The tooth is sealed and typically capped with a crown for strength.
Common Questions
No — with modern anaesthesia the procedure itself is pain-free. Some mild tenderness for a day or two afterward is normal.
Usually yes, especially for back teeth, since a treated tooth can become brittle. A crown protects it long-term.
Untreated infection can spread, cause an abscess and eventually mean the tooth can't be saved at all.
