Root Canal Therapy

A root canal is a procedure used to save infected or damaged teeth. In the center of each tooth, there is soft pulp tissue that contains nerve and blood vessels. When pulp tissue becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, injury, or cracks, it can cause severe pain and even become an abscess if not treated. During a root canal, an infection within the pulp is removed; cleaned and disinfected inner chambers of the tooth are sealed not to allow future infections. The procedure helps preserve your natural tooth, promoting long-term oral health.

A tender root canal usually gets rid of discomfort and anxiety throughout the treatment. This is what makes it unique:

1. Local Anesthetic for Comfort:- Just before the beginning of the procedure, an anaesthetic local is used to numb the treated area. This way you won’t have to feel any pain while it is ongoing. Modern anesthetics are very potent, making this procedure as comfortable as possible.
2. Sedation Options: In case your patient has dental anxiety over a certain procedure. You can offer them different options for sedation. Such as nitrous oxide, also known as the “laughing gas,” or oral sedation. It calms your nerves and makes it so much easier.
3. Advanced Technology: The state-of-the-art technology offers more efficient and less invasive root canals. Rotary instruments (electric tools) are quiet and far more accurate than hand files. Thus cutting the time as well as the inconvenience of a treatment session.
4. Patient-Focused Care: We recognize how much apprehension people have about dentistry. Also ensuring you feel well-informed and comfortable every step of the way. We are always here to answer questions, support relief of fears, and alleviate any concerns you may have.

One of the big advantages of a root canal is to keep your tooth; although it seems almost easier to just pull, it sets up long-term problems-issues with the bite, twisted shifting teeth, and the loss of bone. A root canal keeps your smile intact, preventing the need for more invasive and expensive procedures to replace your missing tooth, such as implants or bridges. Choose a root canal; your long-term future will have better and more stable dental health.

Mild soreness or sensitivity is common for a few days following your endodontic treatment. Your dentist should prescribe some over-the-counter pain-relieving agents and/or prescribe medication if they deem this to be necessary. You will typically be told not to chew or bite on the treated tooth until the final restoration in the form of a crown is ready.

Among other things, good oral hygiene is maintained by brushing and flossing frequently. And regular checkups to keep your root canal-treated tooth healthy.
