Save Your Tooth, Save Your Smile: Root Canal Treatment at With U Dental
When it comes to dental issues, there’s nothing quite as unsettling as the thought of losing a tooth.
But before you start worrying, know this: a root canal treatment could be your tooth’s best shot at survival.
At With U Dental, we believe in saving what’s naturally yours. Our root canal treatments are designed to rescue your tooth, relieve pain, and restore your smile, all without the discomfort you might expect.
What is this treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure aimed at saving a tooth that’s severely decayed or infected. Inside each tooth lies the pulp, a soft tissue filled with nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to serious pain and, if left untreated, the loss of the tooth.
During a root canal, we remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inner chamber of the tooth, and then fill it with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed and, in most cases, topped with a crown to restore its strength and function. This way, you get to keep your natural tooth, avoid the complications of extraction, and maintain your beautiful smile.
Problems this treatment solves
Root canal treatment can address a variety of dental issues, including:
- Severe Tooth Pain: Infected pulp can cause intense tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure. A root canal removes the source of the pain, providing relief.
- Abscesses: An untreated infection can lead to the formation of an abscess, a painful, pus-filled pocket at the root of the tooth. Root canal treatment clears the infection, allowing the abscess to heal.
- Tooth Sensitivity: If your tooth is highly sensitive to hot or cold, it could be due to an infection in the pulp. By removing the infected tissue, a root canal can eliminate sensitivity.
- Tooth Decay: When decay has reached the inner pulp of the tooth, a filling won’t be enough to save it. Root canal treatment removes the decay and preserves the tooth.
- Avoiding Extraction: The primary goal of a root canal is to save the tooth, allowing you to keep your natural smile and avoid the need for a dental implant or bridge.

How It’s Done in Steps
Here’s how we perform a root canal treatment at With U Dental:
- Diagnosis and Consultation: We start with an examination and X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth. If a root canal is necessary, we’ll explain the process and what you can expect.
- Anaesthesia: To ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure, we’ll numb the area around the affected tooth with local anaesthesia. For those who need it, we also offer sedation options.
- Accessing the Pulp: A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp inside.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: Using specialised instruments, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and disinfect the chamber to eliminate any remaining bacteria.
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned chamber is then filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, which helps maintain the structure of the tooth. The tooth is then sealed to prevent future infections.
- Restoration: In most cases, we recommend placing a crown on the treated tooth to restore its strength and protect it from further damage. This step might be done in the same visit or in a follow-up appointment.
- Aftercare: We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your treated tooth and schedule a follow-up visit to ensure everything is healing as it should.
Our thorough procedure ensures a safe, efficient and comfortable experience for you.

FAQS
Is root canal treatment painful?
Thanks to modern anaesthesia and techniques, a root canal treatment is no more painful than getting a filling. You might experience some discomfort after the procedure, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does a root canal last?
With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly to ensure the tooth remains healthy.
Can I eat after a root canal treatment?
It’s best to wait until the numbness from the anaesthesia wears off before eating. Once you feel normal, you can eat soft foods, but avoid chewing with the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a crown.

When it comes to your smile, why settle for anything less than the best? Here’s why we think you’ll love choosing us:
