Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Preserve your natural tooth for long‑term use without extraction.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is the process of cleaning and removing infection from the pulp chamber and root canals—the deepest parts of the tooth. When decay or infection penetrates into the pulp, root canal treatment offers a way to save that tooth, avoiding extraction and allowing safe, continued function.
Which Teeth Require Root Canal Treatment?
-
Decay that has reached the pulp chamber
-
Severe tooth pain or heightened sensitivity to hot and cold
-
Cracked or fractured teeth due to trauma
-
Swollen gums with pus or a fluid-filled blister over the tooth
-
Internal discoloration of the tooth
-
Previously deep fillings that have become painful again
-
Teeth that will serve as support for a crown or dental bridge
What Happens If You Don’t Treat the Root?
-
Infection advances deeper into the root → abscess formation
-
Damage to the jawbone and surrounding tissues
-
Severe pain, swelling, and risk of permanent tooth loss
-
Possible need for extraction, leaving a gap that affects your bite, speech, and confidence
Steps of Root Canal Treatment
-
Examination & X‑rays – Assess the root canals and plan the procedure
-
Access & Cleaning – Open the pulp chamber and remove infected tissue
-
Disinfection – Rinse thoroughly with specialized antimicrobial solutions
-
Filling – Seal the canals with gutta‑percha
-
Restoration – Place a permanent filling or a crown
Typically requires 1–3 appointments, depending on canal complexity and level of infection.
Why Is a Crown Necessary After Root Canal?
After root canal treatment, the tooth no longer has its natural blood supply and becomes more brittle. A crown restores strength, prevents fractures, and enables normal chewing—especially critical for molars that handle heavy biting forces.
Longevity of a Root‑Treated Tooth
With proper care by a specialist and good oral hygiene, a root‑treated tooth can last 10–20 years or longer. Placing a crown and maintaining regular dental check‑ups will maximize its lifespan.
Care Instructions for a Root‑Treated Tooth
-
Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth
-
Brush twice daily with a soft‑bristled toothbrush
-
Floss daily to prevent new decay
-
Keep scheduled dental appointments for crown placement and periodic evaluations
