Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment in Thomson, Singapore

A root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save an infected or severely decayed tooth. At Dental Clinic Thomson, we offer gentle and precise root canal therapy to relieve pain, prevent tooth loss, and restore oral health. Using advanced techniques and modern anesthesia, we ensure that your treatment is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected, it can cause severe pain and swelling.

During the procedure, our dentist will:

✔ Remove the infected pulp to eliminate pain and infection.
✔ Clean and disinfect the root canals to prevent reinfection.
✔ Seal the tooth with a filling or crown for strength and protection.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

You may require a root canal treatment if you experience:

✅ Severe or persistent toothache – A deep, throbbing pain in the tooth.
✅ Sensitivity to hot and cold foods – Lingering pain after eating or drinking.
✅ Swollen or tender gums – Swelling around a tooth may indicate an infection.
✅ Darkened or discolored tooth – A sign of nerve damage inside the tooth.
✅ Pimple-like swelling on the gums – May indicate an abscess or infection.

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious complications, such as tooth loss or the spread of infection to other parts of the mouth.

What to Expect During a Root Canal Procedure?

Step 1: Examination & Diagnosis

✔ A thorough dental examination and X-rays will be performed to assess the extent of infection.

Step 2: Local Anesthesia & Numbing

✔ A local anesthetic is used to ensure a painless experience.

Step 3: Cleaning & Shaping the Root Canal

✔ The infected pulp is carefully removed and the canals are disinfected.

Step 4: Sealing & Restoring the Tooth

✔ The tooth is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
✔ A dental crown may be placed for additional strength and protection.

The procedure is safe, effective, and can help preserve your natural tooth for many years.
