Root canal treatment
Microscope-assisted root canal treatment that saves an infected tooth — quieter and far more comfortable than its reputation.
What it is
When decay or a crack reaches the nerve inside a tooth, the tooth becomes infected and painful. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, disinfects the inside of the tooth and seals it — letting you keep your own tooth instead of losing it. Our endodontist, Dr. Ng Kar Mun, works under a surgical microscope for precision.
Does it hurt?
This is the question everyone asks. Honestly: modern root canal treatment under proper anaesthetic is about as comfortable as a large filling. The pain people fear is the pain of the infection before treatment — the procedure is what relieves it. Most patients tell us afterwards it was far easier than they expected.
What follows
A back tooth that has had root canal treatment usually needs a crown afterwards to protect it from fracture. We will plan that with you and factor it into the quote so there are no surprises.
Common questions
Should I just extract the tooth instead?
Keeping your natural tooth is almost always better than losing it — nothing replaces it perfectly. Extraction leaves a gap that then needs an implant or bridge, usually at greater cost.
Why see an endodontist?
Difficult, re-treatment and molar cases have higher success rates with a specialist working under magnification. Straightforward cases can be done by our general dentists.
