Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to save a severely infected, decayed, or damaged tooth.
Root canal treatment (also called endodontic treatment) is a dental procedure used to save a severely infected, decayed, or damaged tooth. The treatment removes the infected pulp (soft tissue inside the tooth), cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. It is a safe and effective way to preserve your natural tooth and relieve pain.
You may need a root canal treatment if you:
A detailed dental examination and digital X-rays are performed to identify the extent of infection and plan the treatment accurately.
Under local anesthesia, the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed to eliminate bacteria and pain.
The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, shaped, and sealed with a special filling material to prevent reinfection.
In most cases, a custom dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore strength, appearance, and functionality.
Mild sensitivity or discomfort may occur for a few days after treatment and can usually be managed with prescribed medication.
To maintain your treated tooth:
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years.
