What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the space to stop the infection from spreading. It allows a badly damaged or infected tooth to be saved rather than removed.
The alternative to root canal treatment is usually extraction, which means losing the tooth and later considering an implant or bridge to fill the gap. Root canal treatment lets you keep your natural tooth, which is usually the simpler, more comfortable option.
We know the words "root canal" can sound intimidating, but modern techniques and anaesthesia make the experience far more comfortable than its reputation suggests. At our clinic in IOI City Mall Putrajaya, we use on-site digital X-rays and 3D imaging to diagnose accurately, and our priority is getting you out of pain quickly and keeping you comfortable throughout.
Your treatment, step by step.
Consultation
We take an X-ray to confirm the infection and explain exactly what your treatment will involve.
Treatment Day
Under local anaesthesia, we clean out the infected pulp and disinfect the inside of the tooth.
Sealing the Tooth
The cleaned canal is filled and sealed to prevent any further infection.
Long-Term Care
We usually fit a crown to protect the tooth, then monitor it at your regular check-ups.

Frequently asked questions.
Here is what people ask us most about Root Canal Treatment.
The procedure itself is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain while we work. Root canal treatment actually relieves the pain caused by the infection, and most patients feel noticeably better afterwards.
Many cases are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth and how advanced the infection is. We will give you a clear estimate after your initial X-ray.
Saving your natural tooth helps preserve your bite, jawbone and the position of neighbouring teeth. Root canal treatment lets you keep the tooth and avoid more involved replacement options like an implant or bridge.
Cost depends on which tooth is involved, as front teeth have fewer canals than back molars, and on whether a crown is needed afterwards. As a guide, root canal treatment ranges from around RM1,500 for a front tooth to RM2,500 for a molar. We will confirm the exact cost after your X-ray.
In most cases, yes, particularly for back teeth that take a lot of biting force. A crown protects the treated tooth and helps it last for years to come.
