What Happens During a Root Canal?
Hearing you need a root canal might feel scary, but it’s a safe and painless way to save your tooth. At Galaxy Dental Clinic, we specialize in making your root canal experience comfortable and stress-free.
What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treats infection inside a tooth. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside) gets infected or inflamed, a root canal removes the damaged tissue, cleans the area, and seals the tooth to prevent future problems. It saves your natural tooth from extraction.
Our root canal treatment services are designed with modern technology to ensure fast recovery and minimal discomfort.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
- Severe toothache when chewing or applying pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
- Discoloration (darkening) of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
- Pimple-like bump on the gums
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, book an appointment with us immediately to prevent further damage.
Step-by-Step: What Happens During a Root Canal?
- Examination and X-rays: We assess the infection and plan the treatment.
- Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed to keep you pain-free.
- Cleaning: A small opening is made, and the infected pulp is removed.
- Disinfection: The inner chambers are cleaned and sterilized.
- Filling: The space is filled with a special material called gutta-percha.
- Sealing and Restoration: A crown is placed on top to protect the tooth.
After your procedure, we recommend regular dental checkups to ensure your tooth stays healthy for years to come.
How Painful Is a Root Canal?
Thanks to modern anesthesia and techniques, getting a root canal today feels about the same as getting a regular dental filling. Most patients report little to no pain during and after the procedure.

Recovery After a Root Canal
After your root canal, you may experience mild tenderness for a few days. This is completely normal. Tips for a smooth recovery include:
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until fully restored
- Maintain good oral hygiene
- Follow up for permanent crown placement
