About The Video
In this video, Dr Elyssa answers one of the most common questions patients have about dental treatment: whether root canals are painful. She explains that the treatment is designed to relieve toothaches caused by infected nerves inside the tooth. Using examples, she describes how infection may arise from decay, cracks or leaky fillings and how symptoms such as lingering sensitivity, swelling or pain on biting may appear.
Dr Elyssa also walks through the treatment steps in a simple way. She explains how the canals are accessed, cleaned and disinfected to create a healthy environment for healing. To help patients feel comfortable, she shares what is used in the clinic to control pain, from effective local anaesthesia to happy gas, ceiling-mounted TV shows and cosy blankets. Her goal is to help patients understand that root canal treatment is predictable and focused on relieving pain.
Root canal treatment is often misunderstood, and many patients fear it because of outdated ideas about discomfort. Dr Elyssa explains that the procedure is designed to remove the source of toothache by clearing infected nerve tissue and bacteria from inside the tooth. Once the infection is removed, the body can heal and the pain subsides. She highlights that common symptoms such as sensitivity to temperature, swelling or biting pain often appear when the pulp is inflamed or infected, making timely treatment important.
She also explains that the procedure itself is painless, supported by modern anaesthesia and calming options for anxious patients. Entertainment such as ceiling-mounted screens helps create a relaxed environment. With careful cleaning and disinfection, the root canal becomes a stable, healthy space that allows the tooth to function again. Dr Elyssa encourages patients to seek care early, especially since the clinic offers same-day appointments for urgent toothaches.
