Root Canal Treatment
A root canal involves removing infected or damaged pulp from the tooth. The dentist makes an opening in the tooth to access and clean the pulp chamber. After cleaning, the chamber is filled with a sealing material to prevent further infection. The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown for strength and protection.
Steps to a Pain-Free ROOT CANAL treatment
Step1
The dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to assess damage. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area before the procedure begins.
Step2
An opening is made in the tooth’s crown to access the pulp chamber. The infected or damaged pulp tissue is carefully removed.
Step3
The pulp chamber is cleaned and sealed with a filling material. The tooth is then restored, often with a crown for added strength.
