Root Canal Treatment 

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IN SOUTH BOPAL

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is a dental procedure that treats infections in the innermost layer of a tooth, called the tooth pulp. The treatment can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. 

The procedure involves: 

1. Preparing

The dentist may take X-rays of the affected tooth. 

2. Anesthetizing

The dentist applies a numbing medication to the gum near the tooth, then injects a local anesthetic into the gums. You may feel a pinch or burning sensation, but the anesthetic will prevent pain. 

3. Removing the pulp

The dentist uses special files to clean the canals and remove unhealthy pulp. 

4. Cleaning and filling

The dentist cleans and fills the canals, then shapes them for a filling material. 

5. Sealing and fixing

The dentist seals and fixes the tooth, and may add a crown to restore its original shape and strength. 

Root canals are generally painless, but you may feel some tenderness after the procedure. You can take over-the-counter pain medication to relieve it, or your dentist may prescribe an antibiotic to prevent or treat infection. 

Signs that you might need a root canal include: 

• Chronic toothache 

• Sensitivity to hot or cold when biting or sipping 

• Tenderness or discoloration of the tooth 

• Pain while chewing 

• Inflammation in the gum tissues, lymph nodes, and bone around the tooth 

You can help prevent root canals by brushing your teeth after meals, flossing daily, and getting regular dental checkups.
