Root Canal Therapy is a sequence of treatments to remove the infection from the tooth. The infected pulp and tissue are removed, and the tooth is carefully disinfected. The root canals are then sealed to prevent re-infection.

Root Canal Treatment at Our Lane Cove, Roseville & Chatswood Dental Clinic Across Sydney
In the situation that a tooth is heavily compromised from decay and therefore highly likely that an infection will occur, your dentist will suggest removing the pulp tissue to prevent future infection. This is known as a pulpectomy.
In most cases, the dentist will recommend the tooth to be fitted with a crown after Root Canal Therapy to further protect the weakened tooth, due to having the nerve tissue and pulp removed.
At Sydney Smiles Dental, root canal treatment is completed over two painless visits. After your first visit, you may feel mild discomfort for 24-48 hours when chewing on the tooth. This discomfort is due to the anti-bacterial actions of the medication placed inside the tooth. After filling the root canals on your second visit, there should be minimal or no discomfort.
