Root Canal Treatment

What is it?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to repair and save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected by removing the damaged nerve and pulp tissue.

About Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment involves the removal of the tooth’s pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. The infected or damaged pulp is cleaned out, and the empty space is filled with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed and often restored with a crown to protect it. This procedure is designed to relieve pain, prevent further infection, and save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. It is an effective solution for teeth with deep decay or infection.

How it Works

The dentist uses X-rays and clinical examination to assess the extent of infection or damage.
The dentist removes the damaged pulp and cleans the root canals.
The cleaned canals are filled with a rubber-like material to seal them.
The tooth is sealed and often restored with a crown to ensure its strength and function.

Who are ideal candidates for treatment:

  • Individuals with severe tooth pain or sensitivity due to pulp damage or infection.
  • Those with deep cavities or cracks affecting the tooth’s nerve.
  • People who want to save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction.
  • Adults who can manage post-procedure care and follow-up visits.
  • Patients with healthy surrounding teeth and gums who require restorative treatment.
  • Individuals seeking to preserve their natural teeth and avoid tooth loss.
