Root canal treatment is a procedure performed to save a tooth. Root canal treatment is the preferred method for saving teeth with deep decay or infected teeth, especially when decay or damage has reached the pulp or inner tissue of the tooth.
PROCEDURE
The dentist performs a clinical examination and x-rays to confirm the need for root canal treatment and plan the procedure.
Anesthesia is applied to the affected area to make the treatment completely painless.
A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the damaged or infected pulp.
Specialized instruments are used to remove infected pulp and tissues from inside the root canals. They are then cleaned and disinfected to prevent future infections.
The empty canals are filled with a biocompatible material (usually gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent the entry of bacteria.
Depending on the remaining tooth structure, a filling or crown is placed to restore strength and function to the tooth.
Some of the most common signs and situations that indicate the need for this procedure are:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Thanks to local anesthesia and modern techniques, the treatment is painless. Afterwards, you may feel slight discomfort, but this is temporary and manageable with painkillers.
It is important to avoid chewing hard foods with the treated tooth until it is completely restored. Maintain good oral hygiene and follow your dentist's instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Ignoring an infected tooth can lead to tooth loss, more serious infections or even general health complications.
