ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Ensuring You Get Long Term Success
Long-Term Success For a Damaged Tooth
A root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to remove the infected pulp inside the tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, and is located in the center of the tooth.
When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or a crack in the tooth, it can cause severe pain and lead to an abscess if left untreated.
A root canal treatment involves removing the damaged pulp and cleaning out the root canals, which are the small, thin channels that run from the pulp to the tip of the tooth’s root. After the root canals are cleaned, they are filled with a material called gutta-percha, and a dental crown or filling is placed on top of the tooth to restore its shape and function.
Early treatment can prevent the need for more extensive and expensive dental work later on. A root canal treatment typically requires two or three appointments, depending on the severity of the infection.
Process For a Root Canal Treatment
Step 1
Access and removal of infected pulp: Your dentist will numb the area around the tooth and create a small hole to access the infected pulp. They will carefully remove the damaged pulp from the tooth.
Step 2
Cleaning of root canals: Once the damaged pulp is removed, our dentists will use specialized tools to clean out the root canals, which are the small channels that run from the pulp to the tip of the tooth's root.
Step 3
Filling the root canals: After the root canals are cleaned, they are filled with a material called gutta-percha, which seals them and prevents bacteria from entering the tooth.
Step 4
Restoration of the tooth: To restore the tooth's shape and function, oour dentists will place a dental crown or filling on top of the tooth. This will protect the tooth from further damage and allow you to use it normally.
Root Canal FAQs
Some signs that you may need a root canal treatment include severe tooth pain when biting or chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling or tenderness in the gums, discoloration or darkening of the tooth, and a pimple or abscess on the gums.
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly, and visiting your dentist for regular check-ups.
