Root Canal Treatment
Expert Care at Glenroy Smiles Dental
Save Your Tooth with Compassionate and Effective Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. At Glenroy Smiles Dental, our highly skilled dentists are dedicated to providing top-notch care to alleviate pain, remove infection, and preserve your natural tooth.
Why Choose Glenroy Smiles Dental for Emergency Care?
During a root canal procedure, our dentist removes the infected dental pulp (tooth nerve) tissue from inside the tooth. The process involves:
- Removal of Infected Tissue: Carefully extracting the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals to eliminate bacteria and prevent further infection.
- Filling the Canals: Sealing the root canals with a high-grade, biocompatible material to restore the tooth’s integrity and function.
Post-Treatment Restoration
After the root canal treatment, a filling or crown may be placed on the tooth to restore its appearance and strength. This step ensures the tooth remains functional and aesthetically pleasing.

With modern techniques and anaesthesia, root canal treatment is typically no more painful than a routine filling. Our goal is to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
The duration of the procedure varies depending on the complexity of the case. Generally, a root canal treatment can be completed in one to two visits.
Some mild discomfort or sensitivity is normal after the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. It is important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Avoid chewing on hard foods with the treated tooth until it is fully restored with a filling or crown. Regular dental check-ups are also essential.
