Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure that is used to treat a range of dental issues, such as infected or inflamed pulp, cracked or chipped teeth, or deep decay. The procedure is performed by a dental professional who specializes in the treatment of the dental pulp. The first step in the root canal treatment process is to numb the affected tooth and the surrounding area with a local anesthetic to ensure the patient's comfort throughout the procedure. Once the area is numb, the dental professional will create an access hole in the top of the tooth to gain access to the dental pulp.
Using specialized instruments, the dental professional will carefully remove the damaged or infected pulp from the tooth. The tooth's root canal is then cleaned and disinfected to ensure that all bacteria and infection have been eliminated. In some cases, medication may be placed in the root canal to help eliminate any remaining bacteria or infection. After the root canal has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, the dental professional will fill the root canal with a filling material. The tooth's access hole is then sealed with a filling material to prevent further infection. In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to protect the tooth and restore its strength and function.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that is placed over the treated tooth to protect it from further damage or decay. Dental crowns are typically made from porcelain or ceramic materials that are designed to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. At our dental clinic, we use state-of-the-art dental technology and techniques to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality root canal treatment possible. If you are experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, it is important to seek dental care as soon as possible to avoid further damage or infection.
