Saving Your Natural Tooth

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth’s pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels). This treatment helps save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

Root canal treatment is recommended when the tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to:

  • Deep tooth decay
  • Repeated dental procedures on the tooth
  • Cracks or chips in the tooth
  • Trauma or injury to the tooth

If left untreated, the infection can cause pain, abscess, and even bone loss around the tooth.

How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed?

1.Diagnosis: X-rays and clinical examination identify the extent of infection.
2.Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area for a painless procedure.
3.Access Opening: The dentist creates an opening in the tooth to reach the infected pulp.
4.Cleaning and Shaping: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped.
5.Filling: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal them.
6.Restoration: The tooth is restored with a crown or filling to protect it and restore its function.
