Root Canal Treatment
is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely decayed, infected, or damaged. It involves removing the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection
Root canal treatment helps:
The procedure begins with a thorough examination by the dentist. X-rays are taken to assess the extent of damage and to locate the infection in the root canals.
To ensure a painless procedure, the dentist numbs the affected tooth and surrounding area with local anesthesia.
A small opening is drilled in the tooth to access the infected pulp and root canals.
The dentist carefully removes the infected or dead pulp tissue, which contains nerves and blood vessels.
The empty root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection.
Once cleaned, the root canals are filled with a special biocompatible material called gutta-percha, which seals the canals and prevents bacteria from entering.
A temporary or permanent filling is placed to close the opening. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to restore the tooth’s strength and function.
After the procedure, mild discomfort may be experienced for a few days. Proper oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and following the dentist’s instructions help ensure a successful recovery.
With proper care, a treated tooth can last a lifetime, making root canal therapy an effective and essential dental procedure.
