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.

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.

- 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

Our Client Testimonials
See what our happy patients say about their root canal experience.
I feel immensely less anxious about going to the dentist in future, and will 100% be using EasyCare for the foreseeable future!
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.
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
The team was incredibly professional and made sure everything was clearly explained, leaving no room for confusion or uncertainty. Their attention to detail and patient comfort was evident throughout the procedure, which was entirely pain-free.
A thoughtful follow-up call the next day to check on how I was doing truly reflected their commitment to patient care. The level of professionalism, kindness, and expertise at EasyCare Family Dental made this experience far better than I had anticipated. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental care in a welcoming environment! I was looking for a new dental practice and I found one.
Look no further if you’re in the market for a new dentist.
Dr. Majid was incredibly compassionate and took the time to explain every step of the procedure. He made sure I was comfortable throughout and answered all my questions in detail, which helped ease any concerns I had. The level of care I received was outstanding, and I truly appreciate how much they prioritise patient comfort and understanding.
Highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for a dentist who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about their patients!
Many thanks for fixing my broken tooth
Kind regards
Don Millar
Highly recommend this dental practice and I will definitely return.
Dr. Majid is not only a skilled dentist but also incredibly attentive to patient needs. They took the time to explain each procedure thoroughly and ensured I felt comfortable every step of the way. Their expertise was evident in how efficiently and painlessly they handled my dental issues.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, equipped with the latest technology, which further enhanced my confidence in the care I was receiving. The staff were always courteous and helpful, making each visit a pleasant experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Majid to anyone seeking top-notch dental care in a welcoming environment.
Dr. Majid Serpoosh was so skilled and his knowledge is second to none and he goes the extra mile for his patients.
Highly recommend him to everyone.
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.
