PRESERVE YOUR SMILE

Gentle & Effective Root Canal Therapy

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Endodontic therapy, also known as root canal treatment, is a dental procedure used to heal infection or inflammation of the pulp chamber and root canals of the tooth. It includes taking away dead pulp and making it clean by removing infected tissues, thereby reshaping them with biocompatible materials to get rid of bacteria that causes decay which in turn helps in saving teeth. This process is done using local anesthesia, reduces pain, maintains teeth and avoids extraction alternatives such as implants or bridges.

Root canal treatment provides relief from pain, preserves your natural tooth, and stops further infection from spreading. Patients might experience minor discomfort or sensitivity shortly after the procedure. To maintain the good oral health of the treated tooth, it is essential to practice proper oral hygiene habits, such as brushing regularly and scheduling regular visits to dentists. In essence, root canal treatment remains an effective procedure that ensures extended long-life functionality and the appearance of teeth.

RECOVERY

Recovery after a root canal typically includes:

  • Immediate Post-Procedure:You may experience numbness and mild discomfort as the local anesthesia wears off. Pain medication might be prescribed or recommended.
  • First Few Days:Expect some sensitivity or mild pain around the treated tooth, which should decrease gradually. Avoid chewing on the treated side and opt for softer foods.
  • Healing Period:Inflammation should reduce over the week. Maintain good oral hygiene to help the healing process and prevent infection.
  • Follow-Up Appointments:A follow-up visit may be necessary to check the healing and make any adjustments to the treatment.
