Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to repair and save a severely damaged or infected tooth. This treatment focuses on removing the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing them to prevent further infection.
Benefits:
Preservation of Natural Tooth: Root canal treatment helps preserve the natural tooth by removing the infected pulp and preventing the need for extraction, thereby maintaining proper oral function and aesthetics.
Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates the severe pain and discomfort associated with infected or inflamed dental pulp, providing relief and restoring oral comfort.
Prevention of Spread of Infection: By removing the infected pulp and sealing the root canals, root canal treatment prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues, protecting overall oral health.
Process:
Evaluation and Diagnosis: During the initial consultation, the dentist will evaluate the condition of the affected tooth using dental X-rays and clinical examination to determine if root canal treatment is necessary.
Pulp Removal: The dentist will numb the affected tooth and create an opening to access the infected pulp. The infected pulp is then carefully removed from the root canals using specialized instruments.
Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria or debris, ensuring a sterile environment inside the tooth.
Sealing: Once the root canals are cleaned, they are sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent recontamination and further infection.
Restoration: After root canal treatment, the tooth may require a dental crown or filling to restore its strength, function, and appearance.
