Understanding Root Canal Therapy

A root canal is a procedure that treats an infection or inflammation within the root of a tooth. This infection can occur due to injury, decay, or a deep crack in the tooth.

Why Root Canal Therapy?

  • Save Your Tooth: Root canal therapy can often save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
  • Relieve Pain: A root canal can alleviate pain and discomfort caused by a tooth infection.
  • Restore Function: After a root canal, you can continue to use the treated tooth for chewing and speaking.

The Root Canal Procedure

  1. Anesthesia: You will be given local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth.
  2. Access: A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected root canal.
  3. Cleaning and Filling: The infected material is removed from the root canal, which is then cleaned and disinfected. A filling material is placed to seal the root canal.
  4. Restoration: A crown or filling is usually placed over the treated tooth to protect it and restore its function.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

  • Effective Treatment: Root canal therapy has a high success rate and can provide long-lasting relief.
  • Preservation of Natural Teeth: By saving your natural tooth, you can avoid the need for more extensive dental work, such as dental implants or bridges.
  • Improved Oral Health: A healthy tooth can contribute to overall oral health and well-being.
