Root Canal Treatment
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Think of your tooth as a house. The enamel and dentin form the walls, while the pulp, including the nerves and blood vessels, acts as the inner living space. When tooth decay or trauma compromises the pulp, it becomes infected and inflamed, leading to those unpleasant symptoms. This is where root canal treatment comes in.
During the procedure, dentist will
- Numb the area: Ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the treatment.
- Create a small opening in the tooth: To access the inflamed pulp.
- Carefully remove the infected pulp: Leaving only healthy dental tissue behind.
- Clean and disinfect the canals: Eliminating any remaining bacteria.
- Fill the canals with a biocompatible material: Sealing the space and preventing future infection.
- Place a crown on the tooth: Restoring its strength and function.
