Root Canals (Root Canal Treatment)

Our Services

Root canal therapy is a procedure to save and repair a tooth that is severely infected or damaged.

When decay reaches the pulp (inner tissue) of the tooth.

Caused by bacterial invasion of the pulp.

When a crack or chip exposes the pulp.

On the same tooth, leading to pulp inflammation.

That cause irreversible pulpitis.

Root canal therapy typically involves the following steps:

Diagnosis and Preparation: Your dentist will take x-rays to determine the extent of the damage or infection. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the affected area to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Accessing the Pulp: The dentist creates an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp.
Removing the Pulp: Using special tools, the dentist carefully removes the pulp from the pulp chamber and root canals.
Cleaning and Disinfecting: The empty chambers and canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria and prevent further infection.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. The access hole is then sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.
Restoration: After the root canal, the tooth will need to be restored to full function. This usually involves placing a crown over the tooth to protect it and restore its shape and strength.

Root canal therapy helps to alleviate pain, prevent further infection, and save the natural tooth.
