What is Root Canal? Precision and expertise in action
A root canal, professionally known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure designed to treat infections deep within the tooth’s pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth. This treatment becomes necessary when the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, or a trauma like a crack, chip, or even a root fracture.
The Root Canal procedure is more straightforward than many believe
Diagnosis
Using advanced imaging techniques, we assess the extent of the infection.
Local Anesthesia
To ensure you’re comfortable, a local anesthetic is administered to numb the affected tooth.
Access Opening
A small hole is drilled to access the tooth’s inner chamber.
Cleaning
The infected or inflamed pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is meticulously cleaned.
Filling
After cleaning, the root canal is filled to seal the space and prevent future infection.
Restoration
The access hole is sealed with a filling, and in most cases, a crown is recommended to restore the tooth’s structure and function.
