Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure performed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. At Faizal Dental Care, we offer comprehensive root canal therapy to relieve pain, preserve natural teeth, and restore oral health.
The need for a root canal typically arises when the pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, becomes infected or inflamed. This can occur due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, traumatic injury, or a cracked tooth.
During the root canal procedure, our skilled endodontists will first administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. They will then create an opening in the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp.Next, the infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove any bacteria or debris. Once the tooth is cleaned, it is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection.
Root canal therapy is highly successful in saving infected or damaged teeth, allowing patients to maintain their natural smiles and avoid the need for extraction. With proper care and maintenance, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime.
