Understanding Root Canal Treatment: Saving Smiles, Preserving Teeth
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a vital dental procedure aimed at saving and restoring teeth that are severely infected or decayed. Root canal treatment becomes necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, becomes infected or inflamed. This can occur due to deep decay, trauma to the tooth, repeated dental procedures, or cracks in the tooth's structure. If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to abscess formation, bone loss, and the eventual loss of the tooth.
During a root canal procedure, our experienced dentists carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth's interior, clean and disinfect the root canals, and then seal them to prevent further infection. This process not only relieves pain and discomfort but also saves the tooth from extraction, preserving its natural structure and function.
