When Root Canal Treatment May Be Needed
The following symptoms may indicate that the inner part of the tooth has been affected and warrants assessment:
-
Persistent or throbbing tooth pain
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is removed
-
Pain when biting or chewing
-
Swelling around the gum or jaw
-
Darkening of a tooth
-
A pimple-like spot on the gum near the affected tooth
These symptoms do not always mean root canal treatment is required, but early assessment helps determine the appropriate course of action before the condition progresses.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia. Most patients find the treatment itself manageable, and many report that the discomfort from the infection beforehand was more significant than the procedure.
What Treatment Generally Involves
-
Clinical examination and X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth
-
Removal of the affected tissue and careful cleaning of the root canals
-
Sealing of the tooth, followed by a filling or crown to restore function
Root canal treatment at Penn Pacific Dental Center is performed using a dental operating microscope, which allows for detailed visualisation of the root canal system during treatment.
Cost of Root Canal Treatment in Singapore
Root canal treatment in Singapore generally ranges from approximately $1,000 to $2,000, depending on the tooth and complexity of the case. Retreatment or more complex situations may vary. A clinical assessment and X-rays are required before a treatment plan and fee can be confirmed.
