Root canal treatment, also called endodontic treatment, involves removing infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the tooth. Once cleaned, the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection. The natural tooth is preserved and can function normally for many years.
At FG Cosmo Dental, root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia, making the procedure no more uncomfortable than a routine filling. Our priority is always to save your natural tooth wherever possible.
Don’t ignore the signs — early treatment is faster, simpler, and less costly.
Intense, throbbing, or constant toothache that does not respond to painkillers.
Prolonged pain after eating hot or cold food — especially if it lingers after the trigger is removed.
Swelling, tenderness, or a visible abscess near a tooth indicates infection that needs urgent treatment.
Decay that has reached the centre of the tooth requires root canal treatment rather than a simple filling.

By treating the infected tissue inside the tooth, root canal treatment can reduce pain and help the tooth recover.
All infected tissue is removed and the tooth sealed, preventing bacteria from spreading further.
Keeping your natural tooth is always better than extraction — it maintains jaw structure and bite alignment.
Once treated and restored, the tooth functions normally for eating, speaking, and biting.
Left untreated, tooth infections spread to surrounding bone and teeth — root canal treatment stops this.
A successfully treated tooth can last many years with proper care and regular check-ups.
We examine the tooth thoroughly and take X-rays to confirm infection and plan the treatment precisely.
The tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anaesthesia so the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
The infected tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.
