Understanding Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is recommended when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma.
Key steps in root canal treatment include:
-
Diagnosis and assessment: Comprehensive oral examinations and X-rays determine the extent of pulp infection.
-
Cleaning and shaping: Infected pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned and shaped to support sealing.
-
Filling and sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
-
Restoration: A crown or filling is placed to restore the tooth’s structure and function.
