"Demystifying endodontic treatment: why modern root canals relieve pain rather than cause it, explained step by step."

The Root Canal Myth

For decades, root canals had an unearned reputation for discomfort. In reality, the procedure is designed to remove toothache pain caused by infected nerve tissue.

How Pain Relief Works

With effective modern local anaesthesia, the tooth and surrounding area are thoroughly numbed. Most patients report feeling no more discomfort than receiving a routine filling.

Step-by-Step Procedure

The dentist creates a small access opening, cleans out infected pulp using rotary instruments, disinfects the canals, and seals them safely.
