Do Root Canals Hurt? Not Anymore.
The words “root canal” often make people nervous — but thanks to modern techniques and advanced anaesthesia, root canal therapy today is no more uncomfortable than getting a regular filling.
At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we specialise in gentle, stress-free root canal treatment to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) is a procedure that removes the infected or inflamed pulp (nerve tissue) from inside the tooth. The space is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a strong filling or crown.
This treatment is done to preserve your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
If you’re experiencing any of the following, you might need a root canal:
Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Pain when chewing or biting
Swelling or a pimple-like bump on the gum
Discolouration or darkening of the tooth
History of trauma or deep decay
Don't ignore these symptoms — the infection can spread and lead to tooth loss or systemic illness.

The Pain-Free Root Canal Process
Diagnosis & Imaging – We use low-radiation digital X-rays to assess the infection.
Local Anaesthetic or Sedation – You’ll be completely numb or sedated for comfort.
Cleaning the Canal – We gently remove the infected tissue using modern tools.
Disinfection – The root canal is sterilised to prevent reinfection.
Filling & Restoration – The space is sealed and protected with a crown or strong filling.
💡 Most root canals are completed in 1–2 visits and provide instant relief.
Aftercare & Recovery
After the procedure:
Mild soreness is normal but easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief
Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until fully restored
Maintain good oral hygiene
Return for a final crown if required
Most patients return to work the next day.
