What is Root Canal Treatment?
Save your natural tooth and relieve deep tooth pain
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside the tooth (pulp). It helps save the natural tooth by removing infected tissue, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them.
Concerns addressed:
- Severe tooth pain (especially while chewing)
- Deep tooth decay
- Tooth infection or abscess
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling around the tooth or gums
- Cracked or damaged tooth pulp
How it works
The infected or damaged pulp is removed from inside the tooth. The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped, then filled and sealed. A crown is often placed afterward to restore strength and function.
Benefits:
- Saves the natural tooth
- Relieves pain and infection
- Restores chewing function
- Prevents spread of infection
- Maintains natural smile and alignment
- Long-lasting tooth preservation solution
What to expect:
- Duration: 1–2 sittings (30–90 minutes each)
- Downtime: Mild discomfort for 1–2 days
- Recovery: Quick with proper care
- Final step: Crown placement may be required for protection
Aftercare:
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until fully restored
- Maintain good oral hygiene
- Take prescribed medications if advised
- Avoid very hard or sticky foods initially
- Attend follow-up visits for crown placement if needed
