If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling near a specific tooth, you might need a root canal treatment. While the words "root canal" can sound intimidating, modern techniques make the procedure straightforward and virtually pain-free.
At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we provide gentle, effective root canal therapy to save your natural teeth and relieve discomfort.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental treatment that removes infected or inflamed pulp (nerve tissue) from inside your tooth. This prevents further infection, eliminates pain, and allows the tooth to be restored with a filling or crown.
Common Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Persistent toothache (especially when chewing or biting)
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling or tenderness around the gums
Darkening or discolouration of a tooth
Pimple-like bump (abscess) on the gums
If you’re experiencing any of these, don’t ignore them. Root canal therapy can stop the pain and save your tooth from extraction.
How Root Canal Treatment Works
Examination & X-ray: We assess the tooth and identify the source of pain.
Local Anaesthetic: Your tooth is fully numbed so you don’t feel anything.
Pulp Removal: We clean the inside of the tooth and remove any infected tissue.
Filling the Root Canals: Once clean, we fill the space with a rubber-like material (gutta-percha).
Restoration: The tooth is sealed with a filling or covered with a crown to protect it.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
No. Thanks to advanced technology and local anaesthetics, most patients report that having a root canal feels no different than getting a filling. At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we offer sedation options if you’re feeling nervous or have dental anxiety.
