Tooth pain can be more than just an inconvenience — it’s often a sign that something deeper is wrong. When a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, Root Canal Therapy can help save it from extraction and relieve your pain effectively. At Sapphire Dental Centre, we provide comfortable and precise root canal treatments to help restore your oral health and preserve your natural smile.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root Canal Therapy is a dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside a tooth’s pulp — the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria enter this space through deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to severe pain, swelling, and infection.
During a root canal, our experienced dentist carefully removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth with a durable filling or crown. This helps eliminate pain, prevent further infection, and save your natural tooth.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Therapy
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it might be time to consult your dentist:
- Persistent or severe toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
Ignoring these signs can cause the infection to spread, potentially leading to tooth loss or other oral health issues.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
- Relieves pain and discomfort caused by infection
- Prevents tooth extraction and preserves your natural smile
- Restores normal chewing and biting function
- Stops the spread of infection to surrounding teeth
- Provides long-lasting protection with a dental crown
At Sapphire Dental Centre, we use advanced dental technology and gentle techniques to make the root canal process as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Is Root Canal Therapy Painful?
One of the most common myths about root canals is that they’re painful. In reality, modern Root Canal Therapy is virtually pain-free thanks to advanced anesthesia and sedation options. Most patients describe it as no more uncomfortable than getting a regular dental filling. After the treatment, any mild tenderness can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
What to Expect After Your Root Canal
After your root canal treatment, you might experience slight sensitivity for a few days, but this typically subsides quickly. Once the tooth is fully restored with a crown, it will look and function just like your natural teeth — allowing you to smile, eat, and speak with confidence again.
