Dental Root Canal Treatment

Root canal is a procedure done to save a toot which is severely infected or damaged. This procedure involves removing the damaged tissue from inside the tooth, and then filling and sealing the tooth with metal covering.

Root canal treatment can be a daunting prospect for patients, but at Revita Dentistry, we make sure that you are as comfortable and informed as possible about the procedure.

Why Root canal treatment is required?

Root canal treatment becomes crucial when the (nerve) of the tooth becomes infected which can be due to:

  • A deep cavity
  • A crack or chip in the tooth
  • Repeated dental procedures on the tooth
  • An injury to the tooth

Once the pulp becomes infected, it begins to die. This can lead to a number of problems, including:

  • Tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
  • Swelling and inflammation of the gums
  • Abscesses (pus pockets) formation

If root canal treatment is not done immediately, the infection will spread and eventually lead to the loss of the tooth.

Root canal treatment involves removing the infected pulp from the inside of the tooth and then sealing off the tooth to prevent further infection.

How root canal therapy can save your natural tooth?

If you have a tooth that is decaying or infected, root canal therapy will save your natural tooth. For Root canal therapy you need to visit a dentist for two to three times. In the first session your dentist will remove your infected tissue from inside and then seal it. 

Root canal therapy can save your tooth and help you avoid having to have it extracted.

Root canal procedure plan

Removal of the infected pulp from inside your tooth. This pulp is soft, containing blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. By removing this pulp your tooth is cleaned and then we seal it. This process is called root canal.

There are a few things you can experience during your root canal procedure:

First, our dentist will give local anaesthesia that will numb your tooth and gums. After this you will remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Secondly, your dentist will create an opening in your tooth so they can access the pulp and then they drain it. After that our dentist will disinfect your tooth. Finally, they will seal the opening with a filling or by covering your tooth with a dental crown.
This is all about the root canal procedure however you must take care of your teeth after the procedure by avoiding chewing hard food and brushing and flossing regularly. By adopting proper care methods, your root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
