ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Don't Let a Toothache Ruin Your Day
When a tooth becomes badly decayed or infected, a root canal treatment procedure is required in order to preserve, repair and maintain a tooth in function.
Usually the dentist will evaluate an x-ray and conduct vitality tests before determining if an root canal treatment is required.

Diagnosis
- Vitality Test or Electric Pulp Test (EPT)
- X-ray or CBCT
Sedation or Local Anesthesia (LA)
Rubber Dam Isolation
Root Canal Procedure (1 or 2 visits)

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of anaesthetic is used?
Option to have the procedure done under Sedation is available in our setting.
How long does the procedure take?
Generally, a root canal treatment requires single or multiple sessions with each session between 1-90mins.
What to expect after the procedure? Are there aftercare steps?
Once the anaesthesia wears off, some discomfort may be present during recovery. Usually, the discomfort is mild and resolves in a few days.
Our dentist might prescribe you painkillers in order to manage the soreness and tenderness after the operation.
