A root canal treatment is an endodontic procedure that helps treat a badly damaged or infected tooth. It mainly involves removing damaged parts of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and then filling and sealing it. One of the common reasons behind infected dental pulp is breakage or cracks in the enamel. A root canal is a term that refers to cleaning the canals inside the roots of the infected tooth.

Who performs root canal surgery?

A root canal procedure is performed by an experienced endodontist. The procedure is relatively painless and an effective form of treating a badly damaged or infected tooth.

Endodontic therapy can repair broken or infected canals and restore teeth to their full function and form.

Why would one require a root canal?

A root canal procedure treats infected and decayed dental pulps. The pulp chamber is far within the enamel and houses blood vessels, connective tissues, and nerves. Any damage experienced by the enamel can lead to the entry of bacteria inside the tooth. Early treatment is advised to avoid the risk of attaining infection or diseases.

What is involved in a typical root canal procedure?

Your procedure doesn't begin on the first appointment. During your initial visits with the dentist, she will examine your condition by taking digital X-rays. If the patient exhibits signs and symptoms of pulp infection, a root canal would be regarded as the method of treatment. A root canal procedure would involve cleaning the canal chamber and disinfecting it during the following appointments. A suitable dental filling would be used to fill the canal. The treated canal would then be sealed with a restoration to protect it against any further damage.

Post-procedure Care

Once treated, the patient would be requested to be careful with their newly restored tooth for the first few days. Patients can practice routine oral care habits by brushing and flossing teeth twice a day. It is also advised to regularly visit your dentist for follow-ups and exams.
