If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or pain that wakes you up at night, you may need a root canal treatment.
At Smile Avenue Dental Clinic in Beirut, our goal is simple:
eliminate your pain quickly and save your natural tooth whenever possible.
Using modern techniques, advanced tools, and a conservative approach, we make root canal treatments comfortable, precise, and highly successful.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside the tooth (the nerve).
Instead of removing the tooth, we:
Clean the infected area
Disinfect the canals
Seal the tooth to prevent reinfection
This allows you to keep your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
Who Needs a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you have:
-
Severe pain when drinking hot or cold
-
Spontaneous pain (especially at night)
-
Deep cavities reaching the nerve
-
A broken tooth exposing the nerve
-
Swelling or infection
In most cases, this is considered the number one emergency dental treatment.
If you are in pain, this treatment is designed to relieve it immediately.

Common Concerns About Root Canal
“Will it hurt?”
No. The procedure is completely pain-free thanks to anesthesia.
We also use a topical cream before the injection for extra comfort.
“I’m afraid of the injection”
You won’t feel it. The area is numbed beforehand to make it as comfortable as possible.
“Is root canal dangerous?”
Not at all. We use biocompatible materials and safe, proven techniques.
“What about reinfection?”
When done correctly with proper disinfection, the risk is extremely low.
“How many visits do I need?”
Most cases are done in one visit, sometimes two depending on the infection.
A Real Patient Example
A patient came to our clinic with extreme pain in a molar and believed the tooth needed extraction.
After proper diagnosis, we performed a root canal treatment, eliminating the pain immediately.
We then restored the tooth with a dental crown.
The result:
The tooth was saved and will function for many years (10+ years) instead of being lost.
