Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure used to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed. By removing the infected pulp, the tooth can be preserved, avoiding the need for extraction.

During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected. The tooth is then filled and sealed, restoring its function and appearance. A crown is often placed on top to protect the tooth and restore its strength.

When is Root Canal Needed?

Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp of the tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a root canal include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling in the gums.

  • Relieves severe pain
  • Saves the natural tooth
  • Prevents the spread of infection
  • Restores full function to the tooth

Root canal treatment is a straightforward procedure that can be completed in one or two visits. The treatment is highly successful, and the restored tooth can last a lifetime with proper care.

Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups will help keep your treated tooth healthy and prevent future issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning, and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it.

With modern techniques and anesthetics, most patients report that a root canal is no more painful than having a filling placed. The procedure is designed to relieve the pain caused by the infection.

The procedure typically takes one to two visits to complete. Each visit can last about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.

After the root canal treatment, the tooth will be restored with a crown or filling for protection. The tooth may feel sensitive for a few days, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
