ROOT CANAL TREATMENT - PRESERVE YOUR NATURAL TOOTH, PREVENT COMPLICATIONS
At Saigon White Dental Clinic, root canal therapy is a safe and gentle procedure that removes inflamed pulp tissue - helping preserve your natural tooth and restore full chewing function. Early and proper intervention is the only way to avoid tooth loss, prevent infections, and maintain a healthy smile.
1. When do you need a root canal?
You should see a dentist and consider root canal treatment if you experience:
🔹 Persistent toothache - dull, throbbing, or sharp, especially at night
🔹 Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sour foods
🔹 Swollen gums or pus around the tooth root
🔹 Tooth discoloration - darker than surrounding teeth
🔹 X-ray shows pulp inflammation, necrosis, or periapical lesions
💡 Note: Not all toothaches require a root canal - proper diagnosis by a dental professional is essential.
2. Why you shouldn’t delay treatment
➤ Many people rely on painkillers and wait for the pain to subside - but that’s a serious mistake.
Without timely treatment, the infected pulp can spread to the jawbone, leading to:
- Periapical inflammation and bone loss
- Dental abscess and systemic infection
- Permanent tooth loss
➤ Timely root canal treatment allows you to:
✅ Preserve your natural tooth
✅ Avoid complex extractions and implants
✅ Protect your overall health
3. Is root canal treatment painful?
- Absolutely not - or very minimal discomfort. Thanks to modern techniques and effective anesthesia, the procedure is typically pain-free
- Local anesthesia is administered before treatment, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure
- Mild sensitivity may occur for 1-2 days afterward - and usually resolves quickly
- Choosing a reputable clinic with skilled dentists and proper equipment makes a big difference in comfort and results
4. Post-treatment care: what comes next?
After root canal treatment, the tooth becomes more fragile due to loss of blood supply. Therefore, restoration is essential to prevent fractures and extend the tooth’s lifespan.
🔸 Full-coverage dental crown

🔸 Inlay/Onlay fillings
→ For moderate tooth structure loss

🔸 Standard composite filling
→ Typically used for front teeth
