What can I expect from Perfect Smile's root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment – which is an endodontic treatment (or endodontic therapy) – involves removing infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth’s root canal. The process is necessary when nerve becomes inflamed which can cause severe pain.
While Root Canal Therapy have a reputation for being painful, modern techniques and anaesthesia means that most patients only feel minor discomfort during and after their treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes the infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the interior of the root canal, and seals it to prevent re-infection. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and other connective tissue.
A root canal may be necessary if the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged, usually as a result of decay, injury, or trauma. If left untreated, the infection can spread and cause pain, swelling, and even the loss of the tooth. A root canal can save the damaged or infected tooth and prevent the need for an extraction.
Many patients report that a root canal is no more painful than a regular filling. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to numb the area, and many patients experience little or no pain during the procedure. After the procedure, some mild discomfort and sensitivity may occur, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The length of a root canal procedure can vary depending on the complexity. Most root canals can be completed in two or three appointments.
You can usually eat immediately after a root canal, but it is recommended to avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods for the first few days to allow the treated tooth to fully heal.
