After Root Canal Treatment
After your root canal treatment, it is normal to experience mild tenderness or sensitivity for a few days. This usually improves as the treated area heals.
Our dental team will provide personalised aftercare instructions to support your recovery. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to protect the treated tooth, restore its strength and reduce the risk of future fracture.
Alternatives to Root Canal Treatment
When a tooth is severely infected, the main alternative to root canal treatment is tooth extraction. However, removing a tooth may affect your ability to chew comfortably, alter your bite and create a gap that often requires replacement.
Whenever possible, preserving your natural tooth is generally the preferred option. If extraction is necessary, replacement options such as Dental Implants can help restore function and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is generally comfortable because the affected tooth is thoroughly numbed before the procedure begins. At CQ Dental Studio, we use gentle techniques and modern dental technology to help minimise discomfort and make your treatment as comfortable as possible.
2. How long does a root canal take?
The length of treatment depends on the condition of the tooth and the severity of the infection. Many root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments. During your consultation, your dentist will explain the recommended treatment plan and expected timeline.
3. Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
In many cases, a dental crown is recommended after root canal treatment to strengthen and protect the treated tooth. A crown helps restore normal function and reduces the risk of the tooth cracking or breaking over time.
4. Can a root canal save my tooth?
Yes. Root canal treatment is designed to remove infection while preserving your natural tooth whenever possible. Saving your natural tooth can help maintain normal chewing function, support your bite and reduce the need for tooth replacement options.
5. What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
Without treatment, the infection inside the tooth may continue to spread, leading to increased pain, swelling and possible tooth loss. In some cases, the infection can also affect the surrounding bone and neighbouring teeth. Seeking treatment early helps improve the chances of saving your natural tooth.
6. How do I know if I need a root canal?
Persistent tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness when biting or a recurring dental abscess may indicate that root canal treatment is needed. A dental examination and X-rays can confirm the cause of your symptoms.
7. Can I return to work after a root canal?
Many patients return to their normal daily activities shortly after treatment. If you have received local anaesthetic, you should wait until the numbness has worn off before eating. Your dentist will provide personalised aftercare instructions based on your treatment.
8. How can I care for my tooth after a root canal?
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing regularly and attending routine dental check-ups. If a dental crown has been recommended, having it placed promptly will help protect the treated tooth and support its long-term function.
