Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure that is used to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. It involves removing the damaged or infected pulp from the inside of the tooth and cleaning and sealing the root canals. At Crown Dental Clinic, we use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.


Symptoms:

There are several symptoms that may indicate the need for root canal therapy, including severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, swelling or tenderness in the gums, and discoloration of the tooth. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to schedule an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible.


Procedure:

The root canal therapy procedure typically involves several steps. First, the dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth using local anesthesia. Next, they will create a small opening in the top of the tooth and use specialized tools to remove the damaged or infected pulp from the inside of the tooth. The root canals will then be cleaned and shaped, and a filling material will be used to seal the canals. Finally, a dental crown may be placed over the tooth to provide additional support and protection.


Advantages:

Root canal therapy offers several advantages, including:


  • Saving the natural tooth: Root canal therapy can save a damaged or infected tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
  • Pain relief: Root canal therapy can provide relief from severe tooth pain and sensitivity.
  • Improved oral health: By removing the infected pulp, root canal therapy can help prevent the spread of infection and improve overall oral health.

After Treatment Care:

After your root canal therapy, it is important to follow your dentist's instructions for aftercare. This may include taking over-the-counter pain medication, avoiding hard or chewy foods, and practicing good oral hygiene habits. You may also need to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure that the tooth is healing properly. With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last a lifetime.
