Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged, typically due to deep decay or trauma. The procedure involves cleaning and sealing the inner pulp of the tooth to prevent further infection. Here’s how the process works:

Examination and Diagnosis: The dentist examines the tooth using X-rays to assess the extent of the infection or damage and determine the need for a root canal.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area, ensuring that the patient remains comfortable throughout the procedure.

Removal of Infected Tissue: The dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) along with any bacteria, cleaning and shaping the root canals.

Filling and Sealing: Once the canals are cleaned, they are filled with a biocompatible material to seal the space and prevent further infection.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is an effective way to relieve pain and preserve the natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction. With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime. Regular checkups help ensure the success of the procedure and maintain overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth by removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.

Most people experience little to no pain during the procedure, as the area is numbed with local anesthesia. Some discomfort may occur after the treatment, but it is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

A root canal is necessary when the tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, which can cause pain, swelling, and potential tooth loss.

The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the tooth’s condition and complexity.

Most root canals can be completed in one or two visits, with the first visit involving cleaning and preparation, and the second visit for sealing the tooth and placing a crown if necessary.
