Root canal treatment is a restorative dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely damaged or infected. This procedure involves removing the damaged or infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing the tooth to restore its function and prevent future issues.
Key Features:
- Tooth Preservation: Root canal treatment helps save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted due to severe decay or infection.
- Pulp Removal: The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged pulp tissue from within the tooth’s root canals, relieving pain and eliminating the source of infection.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: After the pulp is removed, the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove bacteria and debris, ensuring a healthy environment for healing.
- Sealing and Restoration: Once cleaned, the root canals are sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infections. A crown or filling is often placed on the tooth to restore its strength and functionality.
- Pain Relief: Root canal treatment effectively alleviates the severe pain caused by tooth infections or decay, allowing you to return to normal activities without discomfort.
- Durable Results: With proper care, a tooth that has undergone a root canal can last a lifetime, maintaining its function and appearance.
