Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment used to address infections or damage inside a tooth’s pulp, ultimately saving the tooth and restoring its health. When the soft tissue inside a tooth (the pulp) becomes infected due to deep decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures, it can lead to severe pain, swelling, or even tooth loss. Root canal therapy is designed to remove the infection, alleviate pain, and preserve the tooth for long-term functionality.
Pulp Removal:
The first step in root canal therapy is the removal of the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected, it can cause significant pain and discomfort. By carefully extracting the damaged pulp, we eliminate the source of infection, providing relief and preventing it from spreading further to other areas of the tooth or surrounding tissues.
Root Canal Cleaning:
After the pulp is removed, the next step is a thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the root canals. This process involves removing bacteria, debris, and any remaining infected tissue from the small passageways inside the tooth. Using specialized instruments, we ensure that the root canals are thoroughly cleaned, leaving the area free from harmful bacteria and ready for the next step of treatment. Proper cleaning is critical to prevent reinfection and to promote the healing process.
Sealing and Restoration:
Once the root canals are cleaned, we fill them with a biocompatible material designed to seal and protect the tooth. This material helps prevent further infection and keeps the root canals intact. Following this, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling, depending on the extent of the damage. The crown or filling ensures that the tooth is fully functional and protected from future harm, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
