What Happens During an Emergency Root Canal at Red Rose Hamilton
1. Diagnosis (15 min): Digital X-ray confirms infection reaching the pulp. Local anaesthesia injected — within 3–5 minutes, the tooth and surrounding area are completely numb. You will not feel pain during the procedure.
2. Root canal treatment (60–120 min): Access opening made; infected pulp removed; canals cleaned with antimicrobial solution and rotary files; canals filled with gutta-percha; temporary filling placed same visit.
3. Immediate relief: Most patients experience dramatic pain relief within hours of the root canal as the source of infection is removed. Prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medication provided if needed.
4. Crown follow-up: Most root-canal-treated teeth need a crown (typically 2–3 weeks later) to protect the now-brittle tooth from fracture. Crown cost is also CDCP-covered for eligible patients.
