Root Canal Treatment in Bangkok

When decay or a crack lets bacteria reach the tooth’s nerve, the result is severe pain or an abscess. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, disinfects the canals and seals them — saving the tooth instead of extracting it. Keeping your natural tooth almost always beats extraction and replacement for chewing, comfort and long-term cost.

Signs you may need a root canal

• Severe or throbbing toothache, worse at night
• Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
• Gum swelling or a pimple-like abscess
• A tooth darkening after an old injury
• Pain on biting

How root canal treatment works

1. 1
   Exam and X-ray to confirm the tooth, count the canals, and quote the price
2. 2
   Under local anaesthetic, the infected tissue is removed and the canals cleaned
3. 3
   Disinfection and sealing — usually 1–3 visits depending on infection
4. 4
   Final restoration — molars are best protected with a crown
