Root-Canal Treatment
Experience the Art of Root Canal Care for Lasting Dental Wellness
Procedure Summary
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a specialized dental procedure designed to save and restore a tooth compromised by infection, trauma, or decay. This meticulous intervention includes the removal of infected or damaged pulp from the tooth’s interior, followed by thorough cleaning, disinfection, and sealing to prevent further complications.
Why is Root Canal Treatment Done:
Root canal treatment is essential when the pulp, the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or inflamed. This can result from severe decay, deep cavities, cracks, or trauma. The procedure is performed to:
- Alleviate pain and discomfort.
- Preserve a tooth from extraction.
- Halt the spread of infection to surrounding tissues.
- Restore the tooth’s structural integrity and functionality.
Benefits of the Procedure:
- Pain Relief: Eliminates the pain and discomfort associated with infected or inflamed dental pulp.
- Preservation of Natural Tooth: Safeguards the natural tooth from extraction, maintaining a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Prevention of Further Complications: Arrests the progression of infection, preventing its spread to neighboring teeth or surrounding tissues.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Root canal treatment contributes to overall oral health by preserving the integrity of the affected tooth.
Root Canal Treatment Procedure:
- A thorough examination diagnoses the extent of infection or damage to the tooth, and local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience. A small opening is created in the tooth to access the infected pulp. The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the tooth’s interior. The root canals are properly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria. The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material, and the access opening is sealed. In some cases, a dental crown may be placed to restore the tooth’s strength and functionality.
Recovery and approximate cost
- The entire root canal procedure may be completed in a single session or, in certain instances, require 2 or 3 sessions, depending on the tooth’s condition. Each session typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes.
- Minimal downtime is associated with root canal treatment.
- Mild discomfort, if experienced, is usually alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication.
- Patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
