Root Canal Treatment
At Anannya Dental Clinic & Orthodontic Centre, we understand that the words "root canal" can cause anxiety for many patients. However, our advanced techniques and gentle approach make root canal treatment a comfortable and effective way to save your natural tooth and relieve pain.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It's designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth.
When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Root canal treatment may be necessary when:
Deep decay reaches the pulp of the tooth
The tooth has been cracked or chipped, exposing the pulp
Repeated dental procedures on a tooth have compromised it
An injury has damaged the tooth, even if there's no visible crack or chip
The Root Canal Process at Anannya Dental Clinic & Orthodontic Centre
Diagnosis: We use advanced imaging techniques to accurately diagnose the need for a root canal.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you're comfortable throughout the procedure.
Pulp Removal: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the tooth.
Cleaning and Shaping: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped for filling.
Filling: The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha.
Sealing: The tooth is sealed with a temporary filling.
Restoration: A crown or other restoration is placed to protect the tooth and restore full function.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Pain Relief: Eliminates the pain caused by the infected or damaged pulp.
Save Your Natural Tooth: Allows you to keep your own tooth rather than having it extracted.
Aesthetically Pleasing: The restored tooth looks natural, especially when crowned.
Efficient Chewing: Allows normal biting force and sensation.
Protects Other Teeth: By keeping your natural tooth, you prevent excessive wear or strain on surrounding teeth.
