Root Canal Treatments
Root canal treatment is a procedure performed to save a tooth that has become infected or inflamed due to deep decay or trauma. During this treatment, the infected or damaged pulp within the tooth is carefully removed, the root canal system is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, often spanning multiple appointments, is typically performed by your dentist. Complex cases may necessitate referral to an periodontist. Preparation includes X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition. The procedure, done under local anaesthesia, involves isolating the tooth with a rubber dam and removing infected pulp. The root canal is then cleaned, enlarged, and filled, potentially requiring multiple visits. Antibiotics may be prescribed if infection symptoms persist.
