Root Canal Therapy

At Comfort Smile Dental, it is our goal to help you preserve your natural teeth for a lifetime, so you can smile with confidence. Root canal therapy does this by giving your tooth a second chance. It removes pain, sensitivity and other issues by removing a symptomatic nerve in the middle of the tooth.

In most cases, at Comfort Smile Dental, root canal therapy is completed over two painless visits. After your first root canal visit when the nerve is removed, you may feel some mild discomfort for 24-48 hours when chewing on the tooth. The discomfort is not significant and does not require pain relief. This discomfort is due to the anti-bacterial actions of the medication placed inside the tooth. After plugging the root canals in your second visit there should be minimal or no discomfort.

Occasionally, when your tooth requires special attention, or when you have previously had Root Canal Treatment which requires further attention, you will be referred to see an Endodontist.


At Comfort Smile Dental, our Dentists have undertaken advanced training in the latest endodontic techniques. We use the latest in endodontic instrumentation. The latest of equipment together with our highly skilled Dentists contribute to a painless and comfortable experience for our patients.
