Understanding Root Canal Treatment:
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure performed to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth and clean and disinfect the root canals. The pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, can become infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or traumatic injury. Without treatment, an infected tooth can lead to severe pain, abscess formation, and eventual tooth loss.
Our Root Canal Treatment Process:
Comprehensive Evaluation
Our dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including digital X-rays if necessary, to assess the extent of damage and determine if root canal treatment is necessary.
Local Anesthesia
Before starting the procedure, we will administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring your comfort throughout the treatment.
Pulp Removal
Our dentist will create a small access opening in the tooth and carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp tissue from the root canals using specialized instruments.
Cleaning and Disinfection
The root canals will be cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove bacteria and prevent further infection.
Sealing and Restoration
Once the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, they will be filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent reinfection. Finally, the tooth will be restored with a filling or crown to protect and strengthen it.
