Many people associate root canal treatment with pain, but in reality the procedure is designed to relieve the pain caused by an infected or inflamed pulp. With modern anaesthesia and techniques, the treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a filling. At Motif Clinic, we prioritise your comfort throughout the process.
During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then sealed. This prevents further infection and allows you to keep your natural tooth. A crown is often placed afterwards to protect and restore the tooth’s function. With proper care, a root‑canal‑treated tooth can last a lifetime.
If your dentist has recommended a root canal, do not delay. Leaving an infected tooth untreated can lead to abscess, bone loss and more serious health issues. We are here to answer your questions and support you at every step.
