Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)
Specialist Root Canal Treatment Across Sydney
If you’re dealing with severe tooth pain or sensitivity, you may need a root canal. At Gentle Dental Care 7 Days, our experienced dentists provide gentle, precise root canal treatment across Sydney to relieve pain and save your natural tooth. Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, removes infection from inside the tooth to stop pain and protect your smile.
What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a specialised field of dentistry focused on treating issues inside the tooth, particularly the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. An endodontist is a dentist with advanced training in diagnosing and treating tooth pain, infections, and damage deep within the tooth.
One of the most common endodontic procedures is root canal treatment, which helps save a severely damaged or infected tooth. When bacteria reach the dental pulp, it can lead to intense pain and swelling. A root canal removes the infected tissue, thoroughly cleans the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further damage.
If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need urgent treatment. Our Sydney clinics offer emergency root canal procedures to provide fast relief and protect your natural tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal?
It’s important to recognise the symptoms of a dental pulp infection early to avoid complications. You may require a root canal treatment if you experience:
Persistent or severe tooth pain that doesn’t go away
A pimple-like bump on the gums, indicating an abscess

Root Canal Aftercare: What to Expect
Healing after a root canal treatment is typically smooth, but proper aftercare is key to ensuring long-term success.
Protecting Your Tooth After a Root Canal
After root canal treatment, your tooth may be structurally weaker, making it more prone to fractures. To prevent damage, your dentist will discuss restoration options, often recommending a dental crown for long-term strength and protection. A crown after a root canal helps reinforce the tooth, preventing catastrophic fractures.
