Root Canal Treatment & Procedure

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp (soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning and disinfecting the area, and then sealing it to prevent further infection.

  • To Save the Tooth: When the pulp becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma, a root canal can save the tooth.
  • Relieve Pain: It helps alleviate severe tooth pain and sensitivity caused by infection or inflammation.
  • Prevent Further Complications: Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to more severe health problems.

  • Severe toothache, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
  • Discoloration or darkening of the tooth.
  • Swelling and tenderness in the gums.
  • A recurring pimple on the gums.

1. Diagnosis and Preparation
  • Examination and X-rays: The dentist examines your tooth and takes X-rays to assess the extent of the infection.
  • Local Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is administered to numb the affected tooth and surrounding area.
2. Accessing the Pulp Chamber
  • The dentist creates a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals.
3. Removing the Infected Pulp
  • Using special tools, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the tooth.
4. Cleaning and Shaping the Canals
  • The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to ensure all bacteria and infected tissue are removed.
5. Filling the Canals
  • The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent reinfection.
6. Sealing the Tooth
  • A temporary or permanent filling is placed on the opening to seal the tooth.
7. Restoring the Tooth
  • After the root canal, the tooth may need a crown or permanent filling to restore its strength and function
