Restoring Comfort and Saving Smiles

Purpose:

The purpose of root canal treatment is to save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected, preserving it rather than extracting it.

Procedure:

During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth is removed, cleaned, and disinfected. The tooth is then sealed to prevent further infection.

Treatment:

1) Consultations:

Initial consultations with a dentist or endodontist to assess the tooth’s condition and discuss treatment options.

2) Check Up:

X-rays and examinations are conducted to determine the extent of the damage and plan the treatment.

3) Treatments:

The root canal procedure is performed, involving removal of the infected pulp, cleaning, shaping, and sealing the tooth.

4) Recovery:

Following the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort or swelling, which usually subsides within a few days. Pain relief medications may be prescribed.

Follow-up:

Patients are scheduled for follow-up appointments to monitor the tooth’s healing and ensure there are no complications.
