Root Canal Treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental treatment aimed at preserving natural teeth that have become infected, damaged, or decayed. The treatment addresses the inner soft tissue of the tooth, called pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Infection or damage to this tissue can lead to pain, swelling, and abscesses, affecting overall oral health. Root Canal Treatment allows the tooth to be maintained in the mouth, preventing extraction and protecting the surrounding teeth and jawbone.

Root Canal Treatment provides multiple benefits beyond infection control. It relieves pain caused by inflamed or infected pulp, restores normal chewing and speaking function, and preserves the natural shape and alignment of teeth. By maintaining the tooth structure, the treatment helps prevent further dental problems, supports long-term oral health, and reduces the need for more invasive treatments in the future. Additionally, treated teeth can be reinforced and restored with crowns, enhancing both strength and appearance for long-lasting function and a healthy smile.

Root Canal Treatment begins by a consultation conducted with the dentist at our affiliated clinic to examine the tooth and plan the appropriate care. The treatment generally takes 60 to 90 minutes per session, with some complex cases requiring multiple visits. During the treatment, the dentist removes infected or damaged pulp, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals them to prevent further infection. This process not only relieves pain but also preserves the natural tooth, restores normal chewing and speaking function, and protects surrounding teeth and jawbone. Most patients experience only mild discomfort or sensitivity for 2 to 3 days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Daily activities can usually resume immediately, with full restoration completed once a post and crown are placed for long-term strength and aesthetics.
