Why choose second molar root canal
When a tooth becomes deeply decayed or infected, root canal treatment removes the damaged pulp from inside the root canals, sterilises the area, and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection — saving your natural tooth from extraction.
Gentle Pain Relief
Modern local anaesthetics ensure treatment is as pain-free and comfortable as a routine filling.

Second Molar Root Canal in Paulton — FAQs
Does root canal treatment hurt?
No. Root canal treatment is performed under effective local anaesthetic. In fact, root canal treatment relieves the severe pain caused by tooth infection, rather than causing it. Most patients report feeling no pain during the appointment.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
Most root canal treatments take between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the complexity of the tooth (such as front teeth vs. multi-rooted molars). Some treatments are completed in a single visit, while others may require two visits.
Is it better to have a root canal or extract the tooth?
Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best long-term option for your oral health, biting function, and jawbone stability. Extractions often lead to shifting teeth and require more costly replacements like bridges or implants.
