Modern RCT is virtually painless. We remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the canal — saving your natural tooth and eliminating pain completely. Most cases completed in a single visit.
Root canal treatment (RCT), also called endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside the tooth's pulp — the soft inner tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach the pulp through deep decay, cracks or trauma, an infection develops causing severe pain and abscess formation.
Contrary to its feared reputation, modern RCT with rotary endodontics and digital apex locators is no more uncomfortable than a routine filling. We use effective local anaesthesia ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Relief from the pre-treatment toothache is typically felt within 24–48 hours.
At Grace Dental Care, we use single-visit rotary endodontic techniques for most cases, reducing treatment time dramatically. A post-treatment crown is always recommended to protect the treated tooth long-term.
Nothing replaces a natural tooth. RCT lets you keep it permanently with the right restoration.
The procedure eliminates the source of infection — most patients experience significant relief within 24 hours.
RCT + crown is far cheaper in the long run than extraction followed by implant or bridge.
Untreated pulp infection can spread to adjacent teeth, jawbone and in rare cases, the bloodstream.
Keeping the natural root prevents the bone loss that follows tooth extraction.
After crown placement, eat and chew normally — no dietary restrictions or special care needed.
Don't suffer. Book a same-day emergency appointment — we'll assess and relieve your pain immediately. RCT is far more comfortable than the infection left untreated.
