Root Canal Treatment in Singapore

Alleviate Discomfort and Save Your Natural Teeth. 

Root canal treatments are a dental procedure meant to treat infected nerves/pulp in the tooth. Deep beneath the natural tooth enamel is a layer of pulp, containing blood vessels, nerves, and other connective tissue. Sometimes, this pulp can become inflamed.

The benefit of root canal treatment is that it resolves pain and infection without losing the tooth. This avoids the need for extraction and tooth replacement which can be more costly and time-consuming. This means that you will be able to keep the treated tooth and function normally without needing dental implants.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

Root Canal Procedure

Root canals help to alleviate pain and prevent future complications by removing the infected dental pulp of a tooth. Root canal treatment may be necessary in the event of: 

  • Dental trauma that results in a cracked or fractured tooth. 
  • Deep tooth decay that has progressed to the dental pulp. 
  • Severe gum disease.
  • Exposure of a tooth’s dentin and enamel layers due to excessive wear and tear.

A patient with a root canal infection may also experience:

  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold stimuli.
  • Tooth discolouration.
  • Swelling, and tenderness of the overlying soft tissues in the oral cavity (sometimes including the presence of a gum abscess).

What Does The Root Canal Treatment Involve?

Step 1: 

The root canal treatment process begins with your dentist performing diagnostic imaging (X-ray) to assess the affected tooth.

Step 2: 

Local anaesthesia is administered to the region of the affected tooth to make it numb so that the procedure is pain-free, before it is isolated with a dental dam.

Step 3: 

The infected pulp tissue is then accessed through the dental crown, for removal. 

Step 4: 

The emptied pulp chamber is then thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.

Step 5: 

A temporary tooth filling is placed over the tooth to restore its shape while the tooth and its surrounding structures heal. 

Step 6: 

You will be asked to return after one or two weeks to replace the temporary tooth filling with a permanent tooth filling.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Is the root canal treatment procedure painful?

No, it is pain-free as the area being treated is anaesthetised. However, the soft tissue surrounding the tooth may be tender in the days following treatment. To ease any discomfort or pain, painkillers may be prescribed.

How long does a root canal procedure take?

As each root canal case is unique, an entire treatment might take between 1 hour in a single visit, up to multiple visits to complete. 

Is root canal treatment safe?

Root canal treatment is safe and effective. With advancements in dental instruments and disinfecting techniques, the ability to successfully restore a tooth through root canal treatment has increased. It is also safer to preserve a tooth through root canal treatment, than to allow the progression of a tooth infection. In some instances, a tooth that can no longer be treated may require an extraction.
