Do Root Canals Hurt? Dentist In Rockingham Debunks The Myths, Eases Patient Fears

ROCKINGHAM, WA - 23 June 2025 - Safety Bay Dental Care Centre is tackling one of the most common misconceptions in dentistry: the belief that root canal treatments are painful and traumatic. Dr Adrian Longworth, a trusted dentist in Rockingham, sets the record straight and helps patients feel more at ease about seeking essential treatment for infected or damaged teeth.

With many people avoiding treatment due to fear or misinformation, the clinic has made a local awareness push to educate Rockingham residents about the reality of modern root canal procedures. Now more comfortable and efficient than ever thanks to updated techniques and technology.

"The idea that root canals are unbearably painful is outdated," said Dr Longworth, principal dentist at Safety Bay Dental. "As a long-serving dentist in Rockingham, I can confidently say that today's root canal procedures are typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. In fact, they relieve pain caused by infection and help prevent unnecessary tooth extraction."

The root canal treatment offered at Safety Bay Dental is designed to remove infected pulp, save the natural tooth structure, and eliminate ongoing pain. With the use of local anaesthetics, rotary endodontics, and digital X-rays, patients experience a streamlined and far less invasive procedure than what many still imagine. The clinic's root canal services are particularly important for patients experiencing persistent tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity to hot and cold.

Misinformation and anxiety are among the leading reasons people delay dental treatment. Dr Longworth believes that public education plays a crucial role in improving oral health outcomes and is encouraging the community to seek professional advice early-before minor issues become major problems.
