Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure that is used to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged tissue, called the pulp, from inside the tooth and cleaning the inside of the tooth. The tooth is then sealed to prevent further infection.
Why Might I Need Root Canal Treatment?
There are several reasons why you might need root canal treatment, including:
Tooth infection: If bacteria are allowed to enter the pulp of a tooth, it can cause an infection that can spread to the surrounding tissues and cause a abscess.
Tooth trauma: If a tooth is damaged due to trauma, such as a chipped or cracked tooth, the pulp may be damaged and require removal.
Deep decay: If a tooth has deep decay that extends to the pulp, root canal treatment may be necessary to save the tooth.
What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment
The specifics of your root canal treatment will depend on the severity of the infection or damage. In general, you can expect the following:
Consultation: During your initial consultation, your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment options.
Anesthesia: You will be given local anesthesia to numb the area being treated.
Procedure: The actual root canal treatment will be performed in the dental office. It typically involves making an opening in the top of the tooth, removing the infected or damaged tissue, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing the tooth.
Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience some soreness and sensitivity. Your dentist will give you instructions for post-surgical care, including how to manage any pain or discomfort. You will also be given a follow-up appointment to check on your progress.
