Find relief, save your tooth, and get your smile back
When your tooth gets infected or seriously inflamed, the pain can feel relentless. At Quality Dental Care, we use Root Canal Treatment to stop that discomfort, clear out infection, and preserve your natural tooth — so you don’t have to lose it.
Thanks to modern tools and advanced anaesthesia, root canals are safer and much more comfortable than people expect. You get lasting relief, and your tooth regains strength and function.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
When a tooth’s inside gets infected, it usually lets you know. Here’s what to watch for:
- Sharp pain when you bite or chew
- Sensitivity that sticks around after eating hot or cold foods
- An aching, throbbing toothache
- Pain spreading into your jaw, ear, or head
- Swelling, tenderness, or a small bump on your gums
These signals can mean the pulp inside your tooth is infected or dying. Without treatment, the infection keeps spreading, leading to bigger problems — and likely tooth loss.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
A root canal is a step-by-step process. We clean, disinfect, and seal the tiny canals inside your tooth that once housed the nerve. The goal? Get rid of infection, remove damaged tissue, and keep your tooth intact.
Despite the rumors, root canals actually fix pain — not cause it.
How does it work?
Here’s how we carry out the treatment:
-
We start with an exam and X-rays to see exactly what’s going on with the root and infection
-
Local anaesthesia makes sure you stay comfortable throughout
-
We open the tooth, clean out the infected pulp, then shape and disinfect the canals
-
We seal everything up with a biocompatible material so infection can’t return
-
Finally, we restore the tooth so it stays strong

Why You’ll Probably Need a Crown?
After a root canal, your tooth doesn’t have a living nerve anymore, so it’s more prone to fractures. To protect it, we usually recommend:
-
A porcelain crown or CEREC restoration for lasting strength
-
A tooth-colored option that looks and works just like the real thing
With our on-site facilities, we can often finish the crown in just one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is root canal treatment painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel
any pain during treatment. Most patients report that it feels no different than
having a filling done.
2. How many appointments are needed?
Root canal treatment typically takes 1 to 2 visits, depending on the complexity
of the infection. We’ll let you know what to expect during your consultation.
3. Why can’t I just have the tooth removed?
While extraction is sometimes necessary, saving your natural tooth is almost
always preferable. Root canal treatment allows you to maintain your bite,
prevent shifting teeth, and avoid needing a replacement like an implant or
bridge.
4. Will I need a crown afterward?
Yes, in most cases. A crown or porcelain restoration is strongly recommended to
protect and reinforce the tooth, preventing fractures and restoring normal
function.
5. How long will a root canal-treated tooth last?
With proper care and a protective crown, a root canal-treated tooth can last
many years—even decades. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key.
6. What if I ignore the symptoms?
Delaying treatment can allow the infection to spread, leading to abscess
formation, bone loss, or even systemic health issues. It’s always best to act
early and preserve your dental health.
