Root Canal Treatment

What It Is

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is designed to save a tooth that is infected or severely decayed. It involves removing infected tissue, cleaning, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection, helping avoid extraction and restoring function.

How Root Canal Treatment Works?

Works

During the root canal procedure, your dentist will first numb the area to ensure comfort. An opening is then made in the tooth to access the infected pulp. The pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, is removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped to eliminate infection. After disinfecting the area, the tooth is sealed with a special material to prevent reinfection. Finally, a crown or filling is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, functionality, and appearance. This comprehensive process not only saves the tooth but also ensures that it can continue to function like a natural tooth for many years.
