What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment is a dental treatment designed to treat infection that has reached the pulp, which is the soft inner tissue of a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and once it becomes infected, pain, swelling, and sensitivity often occur. Without treatment, the infection may spread to nearby gums, jawbone, and other teeth, causing more serious dental and health problems. Root Canal Treatment focuses on removing the source of infection while preserving the natural tooth.
The treatment allows the dentist at our affiliated clinic to clean the inside of the tooth thoroughly, disinfect the area, and seal it to prevent further bacterial growth. By saving the natural tooth, the treatment avoids the need for extraction and keeps the surrounding teeth properly aligned. Preserving the tooth structure also helps maintain a natural bite, stable chewing ability, and overall oral health.
A major advantage of Root Canal Treatment is pain relief, as the infected pulp is often the main cause of severe toothache. In addition, the treatment prevents future abscesses, reduces the risk of jawbone damage, and maintains a healthy appearance of the smile. With modern techniques and anesthesia, the treatment has become far more comfortable, safe, and effective, offering long-lasting results for patients who require it.
How It Works
Root Canal Treatment begins by consultation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic. During this visit, the dentist examines the tooth, reviews X-rays, and explains the treatment plan in detail. Once the tooth has been assessed, the dentist schedules the Root Canal Treatment, which usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes per session.
The treatment involves cleaning out the inflamed or infected pulp tissue, disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them with a protective filling material. This process not only removes harmful bacteria but also helps preserve the natural tooth structure.
Recovery is generally quick, with only mild soreness or sensitivity for 2 to 3 days. Most patients can return to daily activities the same day, although chewing on the treated side should be avoided until the tooth is restored with a permanent crown. The overall downtime is minimal compared to extraction, making Root Canal Treatment a highly effective and practical solution for preserving dental health.
