Root Canal

A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp (the innermost layer of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures on the tooth. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to abscess formation and potential tooth loss.

1. Thorough Examination: Our dentist will first conduct a comprehensive examination, including X-rays if necessary, to assess the extent of damage and determine if a root canal is needed.
2. Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, the affected tooth and surrounding area will be numbed using local anesthesia.
3. Pulp Removal: Once the area is numb, our dentist will carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth and clean out the root canals.
4. Sealing and Filling: After cleaning, the root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal them and prevent further infection. The tooth is then typically restored with a dental crown to protect and strengthen it.

• Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation.
• Preservation of Natural Tooth: By saving the tooth with root canal therapy, you maintain your natural smile and avoid the need for extraction.
• Improved Oral Health: Removing infected tissue prevents the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and supports overall oral health.

 Our team will provide post-operative instructions to help you care for your tooth after the procedure. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending follow-up appointments are essential for ensuring the success of your root canal treatment.
