Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment, or endodontics, treats the inside of the tooth: the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, and the root canal that houses it.
A root canal treatmentmay benecessaryin these cases
- A cavity that isn’t treated in time reaches the pulp and causes an infection, sometimes with an abscess.
- A fractured tooth is one of the possible reasons for root canal therapy.
- A luxation, meaning a tooth that has been displaced by trauma, may also require it.
- An infection of the gums or the alveolar bone can also lead to root canal treatment.
Tooth decay remains one of the most common reasons for root canal therapy, which is why it’s important to treat it right away.
Here are thestepsof root canal treatment
-
Anesthesia and access
The dentist numbs the tooth so the treatment is painless, then creates a small access opening to reach the root canal.
-
Cleaning the canal
Using specialized instruments, the dentist removes the infected pulp and cleans the root canal with a disinfecting solution.
-
Filling and restoration
The canal is filled with gutta-percha, a material that prevents reinfection. The dentist then places the final restoration on the tooth.
Follow-upcarefulafter treatment
Regular follow-up visits, with X-rays if needed, confirm that the root and surrounding bone are healthy and that the infection has been fully cleared.
