Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

A root canal doesn’t have to be a painful experience. With effective numbing, patients shouldn’t feel discomfort during the procedure. At Bayswater Dental Clinic, we ensure each patient is fully anaesthetised before we begin.

Sometimes, when a tooth is already inflamed or in acute pain, achieving the numbness can take a bit longer or require a slightly stronger dose of local anaesthetic. But rest assured — we’re committed to making you completely comfortable before proceeding.

If you’re worried about pain or sensitivity, talk to us ahead of treatment. Let’s get your tooth treated without unnecessary stress or discomfort.
