Root Canal Treatment
Dental Pulp & Root Canal Care to Preserve Your Natural Smile
Dental pulp is the soft, living tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. It runs through the center of the tooth’s dentin (the layer beneath enamel) and extends from the crown’s pulp chamber down to the root tips in your jawbone. While each tooth has one pulp chamber, some molars have multiple roots and canals.
Why Root Canal Therapy?
When pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal saves your tooth from extraction. This procedure:
- Relieves Pain: Removes infected tissue causing discomfort.
- Prevents Spread: Stops infection from reaching surrounding bone or teeth.
- Restores Function: Lets you chew and smile confidently again.
The Root Canal Process: Simple & Comfortable
- Gentle Removal: We clear damaged pulp from the chamber and canals.
- Cleaning & Shaping: Each canal is disinfected and prepared for sealing.
- Medication (If Needed): Antibacterial solutions or antibiotics address infection.
- Sealing the Canal: A biocompatible material called gutta-percha fills the space to prevent reinfection.
- Final Restoration: A custom crown protects and strengthens the treated tooth.
Your Comfort Comes First
Modern clinical techniques and anesthesia ensure a comfortable experience. Most patients report the procedure feels similar to a routine filling!
Aftercare for Long-Term Success
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until crowned.
- Maintain regular checkups to monitor healing.
