Root Canal Treatment East Brisbane
Gentle Relief for Toothache
If you’re dealing with persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need a root canal. At EasyCare Family Dental, we offer gentle, effective root canal treatment in East Brisbane to relieve discomfort and save your natural tooth — without fear or fuss.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a common dental procedure that removes infection or damage from the inner pulp of the tooth. This helps eliminate pain and avoid the need for extraction. Once cleaned and sealed, the tooth is usually restored with a dental crown for long-term strength and function.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal if you experience any of the following:
- Severe or throbbing tooth pain
- Sharp pain when chewing or biting
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness near the tooth or jaw
- A pimple-like bump on the gum (sign of abscess)
- Darkening of the tooth
Our 3-Step Root Canal Procedure
- Diagnosis & X-ray: We identify the infected tooth using low-radiation digital X-rays.
- Treatment: After gentle numbing, we clean out the infection and disinfect the canal space.
- Sealing & Restoration: The tooth is sealed, and usually covered with a dental crown to restore strength and prevent further damage.
The procedure is often completed over 1–2 visits, depending on the severity of the infection.
Does a Root Canal Hurt?
Thanks to modern techniques and local anaesthesia, most patients find a root canal is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. In fact, it brings relief from pain — not more of it.

- How long does a root canal take? Typically 60–90 minutes. Some cases require two visits.
- Will I need a crown? Yes, in most cases a dental crown is recommended after root canal to protect the tooth.
- What if I don’t get treatment? The infection can spread, leading to more pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.

Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy, often referred to simply as a root canal, is a dental procedure aimed at treating the inner pulp of a tooth when it becomes infected or inflamed. The pulp, located at the center of the tooth, contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
When it becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can result in severe pain and the spread of infection to surrounding tissues.
Signs You Might Need Root Canal Treatment
- Severe Tooth Pain – Persistent pain while chewing or biting
- Prolonged Sensitivity – Lingering discomfort to hot or cold foods
- Swollen Gums – Tender, inflamed, or pimple-like bumps near the affected tooth
- Discolouration – A darkening or greying of the tooth
- Deep Decay or Damage – Untreated cavities or cracked teeth leading to infection
- Jaw Pain or Swelling – Spreading discomfort from an infected tooth
The Root Canal Treatment Procedure
- Step 1: Consultation & Examination – The dentist conducts a thorough assessment, including digital X-rays, to evaluate the extent of the infection.
- Step 2: Anaesthesia & Comfort – Local anaesthesia is applied to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free procedure.
- Step 3: Pulp Removal & Cleaning – The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the tooth.
- Step 4: Shaping & Disinfection – The root canal is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection.
- Step 5: Sealing the Canal – A biocompatible material is used to fill the cleaned canal, preventing further bacterial contamination.
- Step 6: Temporary or Permanent Restoration – A temporary filling is placed if a follow-up visit is needed, or a permanent filling or crown is used to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Step 7: Aftercare & Recovery – Patients receive post-procedure care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Mild soreness is common and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Pain Relief – Eliminates infection and discomfort
- Saves Natural Teeth – Prevents the need for extraction
- Improves Oral Health – Stops infection from spreading
- Restores Function – Strengthens the tooth for normal chewing and biting
- Aesthetic Benefits – Keeps your natural smile intact

Our Client Testimonials
See what our happy patients say about their root canal experience.
I’ve been coming here since I first moved to the area, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! The appointment is always fantastic, and the dentist and assistant are both incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s never too busy, so I’ve never had to deal with long wait times. Consistently a great experience, definitely a solid 5 stars!
I had horrible wisdom tooth pain that i had been putting off for years, and was TERRIFIED of going to the dentist - however the team here were beyond comforting and helpful with making me feel settled and fully informed of the process. I am still in shock at just how professional, quick, and generally lovely the Doctor and Nurses were 🙂
I feel immensely less anxious about going to the dentist in future, and will 100% be using EasyCare for the foreseeable future!

I'm very happy with the appointment and I would recommend the place 100%. The diagnostic that was given to me by Dr.Majid was very clear, during the process every step seemed smooth. I'd say very professional and trustworthy people working there.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Easy care family dental, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of service and care provided by the entire team. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel comfortable. The dentist, Dr. Sheyda, took the time to explain the procedure in detail, addressing any concerns I had with patience and expertise. Their communication skills were exceptional, ensuring I understood every step of the process.
What truly stood out was the personalised follow-up after my procedure. Practice staff reached out to check on my progress. This level of attentiveness made it clear that they genuinely care about their patients' well-being and satisfaction.
I highly recommend Easycare Family Dental for anyone seeking top-notch dental care with a personal touch. Their commitment to quality service, excellent communication, and thoughtful follow-up truly sets them apart.

Was quoted ~$700 for a single wisdom tooth surgical extraction. Agreed as I didn’t know anything about wisdom tooth prices and I wanted them out before my university exams as they were causing pain and interfering with study. Ended up being a non-surgical extraction. Was quoted the same price upon payment but was last minute given about a $50 discount for being a student. Ended up paying $690 ($500 for extraction, $190 for oral exam) before insurance (~$650 after).
Later questioned why I was originally charged the same amount as what was quoted when the extraction ended up being non-surgical (no incision or stitches) and took less than 5 minutes. Was told that the original quote was for a surgical extraction without the cost of the oral exam meaning that if it turned out I needed a surgical extraction, I would have had to pay an additional $190 on top for the oral exam (totalling ~$900). This was not explained to me when I was given the quote.
I’ve been saving this money for new tires for my car as they’re due. Figured my health is more important. Total cost should have been discussed with me especially as Dr Majid knew that money is an important factor for me being a student

My daughters have been going to see Dr Majid since they were little toddlers and I can honestly say the service is impeccable. Dr Majid is so warmth, empathetic and has a great tendency to make the kids feel at ease to the point they actually enjoy going to the dentist lol. Would not go anywhere else and highly recommend ☺️

The entire process (from booking of the appt to booking my follow-up) was smooth and hassle-free. Dr. Majid was managed my anxiety and ensured my surgical extraction was completely painless. He kept me informed and reassured throughout the procedure, making the whole experience much easier than I anticipated.
I had 4 of my wisdom teeth removed by doctor Majid, felt zero pain and the process was very professionally done for all 4 teeth, for a small price compared to other dentists, the dental clinic was very clean and the staff was great, definitely recommended.
Best experience I have had with a dentist.would recommend to anyone who gets stressed with dentist visits.
Dr Serpoosh provided a great service. I had toothache and he was able to see me the following day. He listened to my concerns, was thorough with investigations and explained what was wrong. I ended up having root canal treatment. Dr Serpoosh was reassuring, explained the procedure and I didn’t feel any pain. I’d recommend his practice to my friends and family
"VERY IMPRESSED" WITH YOUR SERVICE
Many thanks for fixing my broken tooth
Kind regards

I went to Dr Majid with wisdom pain and he took it out that same day. A very difficult removal and painful recovery but Dr Majid was wonderful with his after care and made sure I was ok with my pain and asked if I needed my follow up appointment sooner. Great dentist, thank you!
I've been to Dr. Majid a few times now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Dr. Majid is super professional and kind. He explained everything clearly and made sure I understood my treatment options. The quality of care is top-notch, and I felt really well taken care of. The nurses are always super friendly, which is great since I'm usually pretty nervous about going to the dentist. They made the whole experience much easier. Dr. Majid has definitely gained my trust. Highly recommend him and his team!
Very professional, the quality it work is amazing and they explained everything to me.
Was very nervous but was made to feel very welcome and supported. Excellent Dentists.

Mr. Mj helped me a lot with my toothache. I made an appointment the day before at 10pm and got one for the next day straight away. He is very professional, friendly and helpful. If I had problems with my teeth again, I would go back. He even asks how you are doing days after the operation and then takes care of things if something isn't right. Thank you very much.
Dr Majid and Dr Sheyda are the best dentists in Brisbane, very happy with their services they provide ultimate care and high standard you expect from a dental clinic
Been here a couple of times and the service there are very friendly, Doctor Majid fixed a lots of cavities for me!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Amazing caring service! I won't be going anywhere else and will be recommending to everyone.
Highly recommend EasyCare! Dr.Majid did a great job fixing all my cavities and placing a crown on one of my teeth. Throughout the whole process he was attentive, friendly and thorough, making sure everything is done right and to the best quality. Will definitely be back 🙂
Dr Majid and the team are very welcoming and professional. Made you feel like you are good hands and came out with a great result. Couldn’t be more pleased
The staff was very friendly and helpful and the dentist Dr Majid was honest and straight forward. I have been to other dentists that exaggerated what my needs were in order to make more money ! So I wish I had switched to EasyCare Family Dental sooner.
We had a fantastic experience with Dr. M.J , and their team .Highly recommended.
Would definitely recommend this practice. The staff and dentist are very caring and professional.
This clinic is a beautiful relaxing environment. The team are great at communicating, and are upfront and clear about expectations inclusive of pricing. The online booking system is easy and effective. Finding a great dentist can be such a challenge, so give yourself the gift of oral health and book in as soon as you can.
This is a very good dentist. All the dental staff are Iranian and very pleasant. The work is thorough. There is a nice view from the dental chair. Neil Cadman.
Highly recommend Dr Majid and his assistant they were very thoughtful throughout my wisdom teeth extraction and explained everything to make sure I was comfortable! Very modern and clean practice facility I can’t recommend them enough for any dental needs.
My first time visit to "MJ' and along with his very pleasant assistant "Shaida" (not sure how to spell that), it proved quite a pleasant occasion and I will definitely re visit! Hopefully not for six months at least! Thank you to two very professional practitioners.
Had my first ever tooth extraction about an hour ago. Low fuss, professional, efficient experience. Uncomfortable but not painful with Dr Majid checking how I was feeling frequently. Clinic was spotlessly clean and his dental nurse was very calm and capable.
Fantastic service. Always mindful of your welfare. Never rushed. My toothache exposed some very challenging problems which are being dealt with. I have been informed of options and cost as we proceed. Definitely recommend.
I had a nasty infection in my wisdom tooth and Dr Majid booked me for an emergency appointment the next morning after calling him really late in the day. I was so grateful that he recognised I was in a lot of pain and was eager to help. I ended up seeing him twice for two extractions and I was so happy with his service. He was very friendly, put my nerves completely at ease, regularly checked in about my pain and comfort, and really gave me thorough and professional care. I can’t recommend this practice highly enough!
Beautiful Clean Practice. Nice Location. I went to Dr Majid for my Wisdom tooth emergency and he did fantastic work. He is very calm and knowledgeable.
Just amazing. Such a great dentist. Was taken care of and felt comfortable. Highly recommended!!!!!
Dr Majid is a expert of his craft. Thoroughly explains each step and guides you calmly through the entire process; very emotionally intelligent. Would highly recommend this Dentist. His assistant Daniele is highly personable and quite reassuring; both their skills coalesce superbly. Brilliant practice.
I’m from the UK and do not have brilliant teeth. I went to see Dr. Majid over a year ago who examined my teeth and came up with a treatment plan. Following two root canals, two crowns, several fillings and the first session of a tooth implant surgery, I have to say that he is the best dentist who has worked on my teeth. I have never experienced any pain ( apart from the injections occasionally) during any of my treatments. I had my tooth implant surgery yesterday and now have very little pain.
Dr Majid’s assistants are very friendly and have a caring manner - just what you need when a little nervous. Sometimes, Dr Majid’s wife acts as his assistant, who is also a dentist! So you get two dentists for the price of one! Easy Care Family Dental have recently moved to new premises, with state of the art equipment. Now further for me to travel, but I consider that irrelevant when considering the treatment which I receive. Definitely recommended.

Great new full dental service in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs. Great quality care and explanations of treatments. Feel much better having a professional dentist explain things so well.
