What is Root Canal Therapy, and who is suitable for the treatment?
Root Canal Therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is performed when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or other factors. During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then it is sealed to prevent further infection. Here's how it works:
1.- Assessment: Before recommending Root Canal Therapy, one of our skilled dentists will conduct a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the damage or infection.
2.- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, the affected tooth and surrounding area will be numbed using local anesthesia.
3.- Pulp Removal: An access hole is created in the tooth to reach the infected pulp chamber. The infected or damaged pulp tissue is then removed using specialized instruments.
4.- Cleaning and Shaping: Once the pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare it for filling.
5.- Filling and Sealing: After cleaning, the root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal them and prevent bacteria from re-entering.
6.- Restoration: Depending on the extent of the damage, a crown or filling may be placed on the tooth to restore its strength and function.
