Home 9 Root Canal

A toothache can indicate serious issues with the inside of a tooth, putting it in jeopardy of needing extraction. When the veins, nerves, and other soft material inside of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause an abscess at the tip of the tooth, bone loss, or allow the infection to spread to other parts of your body. Root canal therapy, sometimes called endodontic therapy, can alleviate the pain and save the tooth.

What Happens During Root Canal Therapy?

In order to save the tooth, the damaged nerve and other tissues must be removed from inside the tooth. After the tooth is numbed, a small hole will be drilled to allow access to the pulp chamber. The dead or dying tissue will be removed, and the inside of the tooth cleaned out. To prevent a future infection, the root canal will be shaped and then filled with a biocompatible material, usually a substance called “gutta percha” that is similar to rubber. Afterward, the hole will be filled. Usually a crown is placed over the tooth afterward to protect it from future damage.

Does It Hurt?

During your treatment, the area being treated will be numbed as it would be for a filling or any other procedure. While the inflamed pulp of a tooth can cause you a lot of pain, you should not feel anything during the procedure. Root canal therapy stops pain, rather than causing it. The area around the tooth may be sensitive for a few days after the procedure, but medication can be prescribed to reduce the inflammation.

If you have a toothache, it is important to see a dentist right away. Pain relievers may help temporarily, but left untreated, the damage may continue to the point that your tooth will need to be extracted, and could cause other serious health issues. This is a serious concern and should never be ignored.

what They're Saying

Patient Testimonials

"Came in for a smile makeover before my wedding. Dr. Usman talked me out of full veneers — said my teeth were too healthy for porcelain — and went with composite bonding plus whitening instead. The result is genuinely natural, my mehndi photos came out beautifully, and I paid less than half of what I had been quoted elsewhere. Would recommend to anyone nervous about over-treatment."

— Hina Iqbal, Lahore

"Had two implants placed by Dr. Usman after putting it off for years because I was honestly scared. He showed me the 3D scan before surgery so I could see exactly what was being done — that helped more than I expected. The surgery was quicker than I thought and recovery was straightforward. Six months on, the crowns are in and you cannot tell which teeth are mine and which are the implants."

— Faisal Ahmed, Lahore

"I am based in Manchester and fly home twice a year. We have been bringing the whole family — my parents, my wife, our two kids — to Dental Elegance for three years now. Dr. Usman pre-consults on WhatsApp before each trip so the treatments are paced around our visit dates. Whitening and a cracked-tooth crown for me, scaling for the parents, fillings for the kids — all done in one visit. Best part: a written plan for next time before we leave."

— Ahmed Mansoor, Manchester (UK)
