Root Canal Treatment: Saving Your Tooth, Relieving Your Pain

2025-04-24 16:38
When a tooth is affected by deep decay, trauma or infection, a root canal treatment may be necessary to save it. Also known as endodontic therapy, this procedure removes the damaged tissue inside the tooth, relieves pain, and avoids extraction.

Why is a root canal necessary?

Inside every tooth is the dental pulp — a soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. If the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain and lead to further complications if untreated. A root canal is the ideal treatment to:

✅ Eliminate intense dental pain

✅ Avoid extraction and preserve your natural tooth

✅ Stop infections that can affect surrounding bone and tissues

What does the procedure involve?

Diagnosis and local anesthesia: We begin with an X-ray and apply local anesthesia to ensure the process is completely painless.

Rubber dam isolation: This barrier keeps the tooth clean and dry, preventing contamination and allowing better precision during treatment.

Cleaning the canals: The infected pulp is removed and the internal canals of the tooth are thoroughly disinfected.

Sealing and restoration: Once cleaned, the canals are sealed with a biocompatible material. In most cases, a crown or filling is then placed to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

The entire process is carried out using advanced technology to ensure a safe, precise, and comfortable experience.

After the treatment: smooth recovery

It’s normal to feel slight sensitivity for a few days, but this fades quickly. For a smooth recovery, we recommend: 🔹 Taking the prescribed pain relief if needed

🔹 Avoiding hard foods on the treated side for the first few days

🔹 Maintaining good oral hygiene to support healing

With proper care, your treated tooth can last for many years.
