Root Canal Treatment

Comprehensive Root Canal Treatment for a Healthy Smile

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure designed to treat and save a severely infected or damaged tooth. Contrary to common misconceptions, a root canal is a relatively painless and highly effective solution to relieve tooth pain and restore your oral health.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Severe Toothache: Persistent, intense pain in a tooth, especially while chewing or applying pressure.
Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the stimuli are removed.
Swollen Gums: Swelling or tenderness in the gums surrounding a particular tooth.
Darkening of the Tooth: Discoloration or darkening of the tooth, indicating potential internal issues.

The Root Canal Procedure

1. Assessment and Diagnosis

Our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to diagnose the extent of the infection or damage.

2. Anesthesia

Before starting the procedure, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout.

3. Pulp Removal

The damaged or infected pulp (the inner soft tissue of the tooth) is carefully removed to eliminate the source of pain and prevent further spread of infection.

4. Cleaning and Disinfection

The root canals are meticulously cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria and debris.

5. Filling and Sealing

Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material, and the tooth is sealed to prevent recontamination.

6. Restoration

Depending on the extent of the damage, a dental crown may be placed to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Pain Relief: Eliminates the pain caused by infection or damage.
Preservation of Natural Tooth: Saves your natural tooth from extraction.
Prevents Further Complications: Stops the spread of infection to surrounding tissues.
Restores Oral Health: Maintains the integrity of your smile and overall oral well-being.

Aftercare and Recovery

After the procedure, it’s essential to follow your dentist’s instructions for post-treatment care. This may include mild pain management, avoiding certain foods, and attending follow-up appointments to ensure the tooth is healing properly.
