Root Canal Treatment: Step-by-Step Procedure
- 1
Diagnosis & Pain Relief (Local Anaesthetic)
10–15 minutesYour dentist confirms infection via X-ray and applies local anaesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding area. You'll feel pressure but no pain — similar to having a cavity filled.
- 2
Access the Pulp Chamber
5–10 minutesA small hole is drilled into the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp chamber. The tooth is isolated with a rubber dam to keep the area dry and sterile.
- 3
Remove Infected Pulp
15–30 minutesFine instruments (files) carefully remove the infected or dead pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals. The dentist may rinse and medicate the canals to ensure all infection is cleared.
- 4
Fill the Canals (Obturation)
10–15 minutesThe empty canals are filled with a biocompatible sealer material (gutta-percha) to prevent future infection. A temporary or permanent restoration closes the access hole.
- 5
Crown Placement (Follow-up Visit)
30–60 minutes (second visit)After 1–2 weeks, the tooth is fitted with a protective crown to restore strength and function. The crown prevents re-infection and fracture of the now-hollow tooth.
Who Is a Candidate for Root Canal Treatment?
Good candidates
- Adults with severe toothache, swelling, or abscess caused by deep decay or trauma — you want to keep your natural tooth.
- Patients with prolonged sensitivity to hot/cold that lingers after the trigger is removed — sign of pulp inflammation.
- Those whose dentist has spotted deep decay or infection on X-ray before a cavity becomes abscess — early intervention saves the tooth.
- Anyone facing tooth extraction but wants to explore saving options — RCT is often less costly long-term than implant or bridge.
May need extra assessment
- Very anxious patients or those with low pain threshold — discuss sedation options or phased treatment with your dentist.
- Patients with severe medical conditions (uncontrolled diabetes, immunocompromised) — infection risk is higher; extra monitoring needed.
- Teeth with severely curved or calcified canals — may need specialist (endodontist) referral for complex retreatment.
