Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that's infected or severely inflamed

The inner part of your tooth, called the pulp, contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. If this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or other reasons, it can cause pain, swelling, and even abscesses (pus-filled pockets) around the tooth. A root canal treatment addresses this infection and prevents the tooth from needing extraction.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

1. Anesthesia:
Local anesthesia numbs the area around the tooth to minimize discomfort.

2. Access and Cleaning:
The dentist creates an opening in the tooth crown to access the infected pulp. They then carefully remove the infected pulp tissue and clean the root canals (narrow chambers within the tooth root).

3. Shaping and Filling:
The cleaned canals are then shaped and filled with a special material to prevent reinfection.

4. Sealing and Restoration:
The cleaned canals are then shaped and filled with a special material to prevent reinfection.
