Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment: Saving Your Teeth
A root canal is a procedure that treats an infected or damaged tooth. When the tooth's pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and discomfort.
Why is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
- Infection Prevention: Left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to more serious problems, such as abscesses and bone loss.
- Tooth Preservation: Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth, rather than extracting it.
- Pain Relief: A root canal can provide significant relief from tooth pain.
The Root Canal Procedure
- Access: Our dentist will make a small opening in the tooth's crown.
- Removal of Pulp: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the root canals.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove any bacteria.
- Filling: The root canals are filled with a special material to seal them off and prevent future infection.
- Restoration: A dental crown or filling is placed over the tooth to restore its function and appearance.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Pain Relief: Root canal treatment can provide immediate relief from tooth pain.
- Tooth Preservation: It allows you to keep your natural tooth, which can improve your oral health and appearance.
- Improved Function: A healthy tooth can enhance your ability to chew, speak, and smile.
