What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a specialized dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from the inside of a tooth. The canal is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed, saving the natural tooth and preventing further infection or tooth loss. 

Who is it For?

  • Patients with tooth pain, sensitivity, or infection
  • Individuals with decayed, damaged, or abscessed teeth
  • Those who want to avoid tooth extraction
  • Ideal for patients seeking safe, effective, and minimally invasive dental care

How the Procedure Works

  • Consultation & Diagnosis: X-rays and clinical exams identify infection and damage.
  • Anesthesia & Isolation: Local anesthesia is administered, and the tooth is isolated for precision.
  • Pulp Removal & Cleaning: Infected tissue is removed, and canals are cleaned and shaped.
  • Filling & Sealing: Canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
  • Restoration: A crown or filling is placed to restore strength, function, and aesthetics.

Recovery & Downtime

  • Mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur for a few days.
  • Normal activities can usually resume immediately.
  • Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until restoration is completed.
  • Full healing is achieved in a few weeks, depending on the tooth and restoration.

Will I need a crown after the root canal?
