When a toothache won’t go away, it could mean the soft tissue inside your tooth is infected. A root canal treatment (also called endodontic therapy) removes the infected tissue, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection.
If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, don’t worry – Klinik Pergigian Dens Care’s skilled dental team is here to help you regain your smile’s health and provide relief.
The cost of your root canal can vary depending on the complexity of the case. Contact us for a more accurate quote.
The inner pulp of a tooth often becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, trauma, or cracks in the tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, you may need a root canal to address the underlying issue.
This discomfort often worsens when chewing or putting pressure on the affected tooth, and does not subside with pain relievers.
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold is another signal that your tooth’s nerve may be compromised. Unlike normal sensitivity, this pain can persist long after the stimulus is removed.
Swelling, redness, or tenderness in the gums near a specific tooth can indicate an underlying infection. You may also see a small bump or abscess on the gum line.
Teeth that have extensive decay or have undergone multiple dental procedures are more prone to pulp damage.
A tooth that has been cracked, chipped, or broken due to trauma can expose the inner pulp to bacteria. Even if the damage seems minor, untreated cracks can lead to infection.
Early treatment with a root canal can prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth or bone.
Sometimes, a dentist may recommend extraction instead of a root canal if the damage is too much. Tooth extraction is generally considered when:
While extraction removes the infection, it also means losing the natural tooth. This can lead to gaps, difficulty chewing, changes in speech, and potential bone loss in the jaw. Root canal treatment, when feasible, is usually preferred because it preserves the tooth, maintains your bite, and provides a more natural, long-term solution.
The dentist examines the tooth by taking X-ray images to assess the extent of the infection and if it can be saved.
Local anesthesia ensures you feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.
The dentist removes infected pulp and shapes the canal to prepare it for filling.
The cleaned canal is filled with biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Many patients need a crown after root canal treatment to restore strength and protect the tooth. Our dentist will advise and guide you on the next steps.

Modern root canal procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Some patients may feel mild soreness after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Most root canal treatments are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth’s complexity and the presence of infection. Each session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
It’s important to avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until it is fully restored, maintain good oral hygiene, and attend follow-up appointments. Your dentist may recommend a crown to strengthen the tooth.
While rare, a root canal can fail if the tooth becomes re-infected, has complex canal structures, or cracks. In such cases, retreatment or other dental procedures may be necessary.
Root canal treatment is generally safe during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester. Your dentist will take precautions to ensure your comfort and safety.
A root canal preserves your natural tooth, maintains chewing function, and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting. Tooth extraction may be necessary only if the tooth is severely damaged or cannot be saved.
Most teeth require a crown after a root canal to restore strength and prevent fractures, especially molars that endure heavy chewing pressure.
