Root Canal Therapy
A procedure to save and restore a damaged or infected tooth is called root canal. This treatment includes eliminating the damaged portion of the tooth (pulp), cleaning it and then sealing it. A deep cavity, cracked tooth and repeated dental treatment affect the pulp.
The name “root canal” means cleaning the canal inside the tooth’s root.
Steps during a ROOT CANAL
Speak to your dentist when you need a root canal. Here are the steps that you can expect during a root canal treatment:
X-ray: The dentist will first take X-rays to know where the decay is located.
Anesthesia: This will apply to the affected tooth. In fact, a root canal is no more painful than a filling.
Pulpectomy: Removing the diseased tooth pulp and an opening is made as well.
Filling: Opened roots are filled with gutta-percha material and solidify off with cement.
Our professional dentists at Smile Zone are all well trained to handle root canal treatment. If there is any special care needed, our dentist will discuss and help you with your oral health issues.
