Root Canal Therapy

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root Canal Therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure designed to treat the inside of the tooth when the pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected or damaged. This treatment helps to save the natural tooth and prevent the spread of infection.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Therapy

1. Severe Toothache: Persistent, throbbing pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.

2. Prolonged Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the temperature stimulus is removed.

3. Swollen Gums: Swelling, tenderness, or the presence of a pimple on the gums near the affected tooth.

4. Discolored Tooth: Darkening or discoloration of a tooth, indicating potential damage or infection.

The Root Canal Therapy Process

1. Consultation and Examination: Our endodontist evaluates your symptoms, examines X-rays, and determines if root canal therapy is needed.

2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free and comfortable experience.

3. Access Opening: The tooth is opened to access the infected or damaged pulp.

4. Cleaning and Shaping: The infected pulp is removed, and the interior of the tooth is cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling.

5. Filling and Sealing: The root canal is filled with a biocompatible material, and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.

6. Restoration: In most cases, a crown is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and functionality.
