What is a root canal procedure?

Root canal procedures, or endodontics, is a treatment for the inner pulp of the tooth. They are performed to save teeth from extraction. The dentist or endodontist, a root canal specialist, cleans out the decayed or damaged pulp without breaking the exterior of the tooth root. The cleaned root canal is filled with a bio-compatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha. They are also performed for patients with damaged teeth caused by accidents or fractures. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete.

What are the types of root canal procedures?

Primary root canal treatments are performed using stainless steel files. Stainless steel files could remove only a small amount of infection and could easily break. The more advanced and flexible nickel titanium files do not break easily and are able to clean the entire infected area easily. Rotary instruments used to clean the root canal are quicker than manual instruments. Other advanced root canal procedures make use of ultrasound or laser to effectively clean the root canal.

Is a root canal procedure painful?

Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.

What is the recovery time after having a root canal procedures?

Patients take about three days to recover after a root canal procedure. Some patients require a week to recover from a root canal procedure.

When can I travel by air after a root canal procedure?

It is safe to travel by air one day after a root canal procedure. Patients should check with their dentist before embarking on their journey. If they feel pain or discomfort, they should postpone their journey until it abates.

What care is required after a root canal procedure?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should not eat until the anaesthetic wears off. They should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food for at least a week. They should avoid eating hard food or sticky food. If swelling occurs they should sleep with their head raised for a few days to bring it down.

What are the alternatives to root canal procedures?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

The entire office was very accommodatingStella, South Korea, 26 09 22

I have severe anxiety stemming from an incident with my orthodontist and have not been able to go to a dentist or for oral work for years because of it. Almost all my dentists in the UK have not been exactly.,.equipped to help with anxiety despite me explaining my situation, so I was worried it might be the same here. But it was completely different and surprising. Dr Seo was so patient. The entire office was very accommodating. They set you up in the room and let you relax and just acclimatise to the environment (which helped me because it takes me some time to work down from an anxiety attack) and Dr Seo was patient and kind the entire appointment and explained everything clearly. The office also is very nice and bright with lots of windows and plants so it feels more comforting straight away. I'm already scheduling another appointment. I'm so pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.

Their professionalism, efficiency, and affordability are unmatchedCrevia, Australia, 04 01 25

I had an outstanding experience at Seoul Today Dental Clinic and can’t recommend them enough! Traveling all the way from Australia, I was initially concerned about navigating the booking process, but it turned out to be incredibly straightforward and convenient. Back home, my dentist had recommended replacing eight fillings, which would have cost me thousands of dollars. However, at Seoul Today Dental Clinic, the English-speaking dentist provided an honest and professional assessment, explaining that my teeth were still in good condition and no immediate action was needed. I appreciated that he didn’t try to pressure or scare me into unnecessary procedures—a refreshing change from my past experiences. During the consultation, the dentist did notice that one of my root canal treatments wasn’t done properly, which could lead to potential inflammation. He suggested placing a crown as a preventive measure, and to my amazement, the entire procedure could be completed in just one day! I was initially sceptical, especially considering my previous crown in Australia cost $2,000+ and took three weeks to complete. But at Seoul Today Dental Clinic, the crown cost only 550,000 KRW (approximately AUD 550). The process was quick, and painless, and the result feels like a natural tooth. I was even able to eat within a few hours. What stood out the most was their conservative approach to aesthetics. Unlike some dentists who overdo it with anesthesia or treatments, the procedure here felt balanced and comfortable—no numbness or awkwardness afterward. I’ve already recommended this clinic to my family and will definitely return for any future dental needs. Their professionalism, efficiency, and affordability are unmatched!
