Root Canal
Professional Root Canal Treatment at Dentaltech Dublin
At Dentaltech, we specialise in providing expert root canal treatments to patients across Dublin. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality care that prioritises your comfort and oral health. A root canal is often the last line of defence to save a damaged or infected tooth, and at Dentaltech, we use advanced technology and techniques to ensure the success of your treatment.
Why You May Need a Root Canal
Symptoms that indicate you may require root canal treatment include:
Severe toothache that intensifies when chewing or biting
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold that persists after the stimulus is removed
Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth
The Root Canal Procedure at Dentaltech
At Dentaltech, we ensure a smooth and effective root canal procedure that follows these steps:
- Consultation: Your dentist will assess the tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection.
- Anaesthesia: A local anaesthetic is applied to numb the area, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Pulp Removal: We carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth’s interior.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped to remove any remaining debris and prevent further infection.
- Filling and Sealing: The canals are filled with a rubber-like material and sealed to protect the tooth.
- Restoration: A temporary filling is placed, and a crown may be recommended in the future to fully restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
What Should You Expect?
During a root canal procedure, your dentist will begin by administering a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. After carefully removing the nerve and pulp, the canal will be cleaned and filled with a rubber-like compound and sealing paste. The tooth is then sealed with a filling, and if needed, preparations for a crown can be made. Once a tooth has erupted through the gums, its nerve is no longer essential for its health and function; its only role is sensory, such as detecting hot and cold. Therefore, the absence of the nerve won’t impact the tooth’s everyday function, making this procedure an effective way to preserve your natural tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a root canal treatment?
a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected, it can cause severe pain. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs that you may need a root canal include severe tooth pain when chewing, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discolouration, swelling or tenderness in the gums, and recurring pimple-like bumps on the gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your dentist for an evaluation.
Is a root canal procedure painful?
Root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthetic, which numbs the area and ensures you feel little to no pain during the procedure. After the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
A typical root canal procedure can take between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. In some instances, the treatment may require more than one visit, especially if a crown is needed to fully restore the tooth.
Will my tooth look different after a root canal?
Once the root canal is completed and the tooth is restored with a filling or crown, it will look and function just like your natural teeth. Your dentist will ensure that the restoration blends in with the rest of your smile.
How long will a root canal-treated tooth last?
With proper care, a tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment can last a lifetime. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular dental check-ups, and follow any specific care instructions from your dentist to ensure the longevity of the treated tooth.
What can I do to prevent the need for a root canal?
You can reduce your risk of needing a root canal by maintaining good oral hygiene, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups. Avoiding sugary foods and drinks and addressing any cracked or damaged teeth promptly can also help prevent infections that lead to root canal treatment.
