What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a safe, highly effective procedure designed to save your natural tooth. By removing infected pulp, cleaning the inner canals, and sealing the tooth, we restore its full strength and function – eliminating pain, preventing further infection, and keeping your natural smile intact without extraction.

Why is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
A minute dental complaint if left untreated can spread rapidly, cause severe pain, and ultimately lead to tooth loss. Root canal treatment saves your tooth before it is too late. Ignoring a dental problem does not eliminate it — rather worsens it. Here are the signs you may need a root canal:

Questions We Hear Often
We have answered your most frequently asked questions to help you walk in feeling confident and completely informed
With our modern anaesthesia and painless injection techniques, root canal treatment is usually comfortable with little to no pain during the procedure. Any mild soreness after it typically settles within a day or two.
A properly done root canal can last 10 to 20 years or even a lifetime. Its longevity depends on good oral hygiene, placement of a dental crown, and regular dental check-ups.
Yes, root canal treatment with The Swish Dentistry is a safe option as it helps save your natural tooth, removes infection, relieves pain, and restores normal chewing, making it a better choice than extraction when the tooth can be preserved.
After 10 years, a treated tooth at The Swish Dentistry can function normally if it is well maintained and crowned properly. Regular dental check-ups with us help ensure it stays healthy and strong long-term.
Yes, a root canal can be done twice if the tooth gets re-infected or the previous treatment fails. At The Swish Dentistry, this is known as a re-root canal treatment and is done to save the natural tooth again whenever possible.
After a root canal, avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the treated tooth, very hot or cold foods for a few days, and biting until the permanent crown is placed. Maintain good oral hygiene and follow your dentist's instructions for proper healing.
The hardest tooth to perform a root canal on is usually the molar tooth, especially the lower molars, because they have multiple curved and narrow canals that are more complex to clean and treat.
Delaying a root canal or crown can allow the infection to worsen, increase pain and swelling, and may eventually lead to tooth loss. Early treatment helps save the tooth and prevent complications.
At The Swish Dentistry, most root canal procedures are completed in a single sitting, saving you time without compromising on care.
Choose an experienced dentist who uses modern anaesthesia, precise diagnosis, and painless techniques — like The Swish Dentistry, known for advanced, pain-free root canal treatments with proper crown placement and dedicated follow-up care.
