root canal treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a highly effective dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. Instead of extracting the tooth, root canal therapy removes the infection and restores the tooth's function, allowing you to maintain your natural smile.

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal treatment involves removing the damaged or infected pulp (soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. A crown or filling is often placed afterward to protect and restore the tooth.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

You might need root canal treatment if you experience:

• Severe toothache, especially when chewing or biting.
• Sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the stimulus is removed.
• Swollen or tender gums around the affected tooth.
• Discoloration of the tooth.
• Recurring pimples on the gums.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

1. Pain Relief: Eliminates severe tooth pain caused by infection or decay.
2. Preserves Natural Teeth: Avoids the need for extraction, keeping your natural smile intact.
3. Restored Functionality: Allows you to bite and chew with ease.
4. Prevents Further Infection: Sealing the root canals protects the tooth from future damage.
5. Cost-Effective: Preserving your natural tooth is often more affordable than replacing it with an implant or bridge.

The Root Canal Procedure

1. Diagnosis and Preparation A thorough examination and X-rays identify the affected tooth and assess the extent of damage.
2. Anesthesia Local anesthesia is applied to ensure the procedure is pain-free.
3. Pulp Removal The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
4. Filling and Sealing The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
5. Restoration A crown or filling is placed on the tooth for protection and to restore its function and appearance.
