Root Canal Treatment in Riyadh

What is Root Canal Treatment?

The inflamed or infected pulp is removed from inside the canals, which are cleaned, shaped and disinfected, then filled with a sealing material. The tooth usually needs a crown afterwards to protect it from fracture.

Who is it suitable for?

• Severe or throbbing tooth pain
• Lingering sensitivity to heat after the stimulus is removed
• An abscess or swelling of the gum
• A fracture extending into the nerve

How the session works, step by step

1. Examination and X-ray to assess the pulp and canals
2. Local anaesthetic and isolating the tooth
3. Opening the tooth, cleaning and shaping the canals
4. Filling the canals and sealing the tooth
5. Placing a crown to protect the tooth where needed

How to prepare

• Tell the dentist how severe the pain is and how long it has lasted
• Mention any antibiotics you have taken
• Take a painkiller before the appointment if your dentist allows

After the session — what to expect

• Mild discomfort on biting for several days is expected
• Avoid heavy chewing on the tooth before the crown
• Complete any prescribed antibiotic course
• Return if pain or swelling persists

Cost and instalments

The cost of root canal treatment varies with your case, the number of sessions and the plan your doctor sets, so an exact price cannot be given before a consultation. We explain the full cost after examination and before starting, and instalments are available through Tamara, Tabby and Emkan.
