What is Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment focuses on removing the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. This process helps save the tooth from extraction and restores its ability to function normally.
Many patients experience relief from pain almost immediately after the procedure, and once it’s healed, your tooth will be as good as new, allowing you to return to eating, chewing, and speaking comfortably.
Why Do You Need Root Canal Treatment
- Severe tooth pain when chewing or touching the tooth
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
The Root Canal Procedure Procedure
Initial Examination: We start by numbing the area and taking X-rays to assess the extent of the damage.
Accessing the Tooth: A small opening is made to access the pulp inside the tooth.
Cleaning and Shaping: The infected tissue is removed, and the space is cleaned and shaped to ensure it is free from bacteria.
Filling the Space: The empty space is filled with a material that seals the tooth to prevent reinfection.
Restoration: A crown or filling is placed on top to restore the tooth's strength and appearance.
