Root Canal Treatment:

Goodbye pain!

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that’s infected or severely decayed. Instead of removing the tooth, the infected pulp is carefully cleaned out, disinfected, and sealed. This helps relieve pain, preserve your natural tooth, and prevent the need for extraction.

What to expect

1. Diagnosis

CTscan and periapical X-rays will be taken and assess the tooth to confirm infection or damage.

2. Treatment

Under local anesthesia, the infected tissue is removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and filled.

3. Restoration

Most root canal-treated teeth will need a crown or filling to restore strength and function.

4. Aftercare

Mild soreness is normal and typically managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
