What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. When the pulp—the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels—becomes inflamed or infected, often due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal may be necessary.

During the procedure, the dentist or endodontist first administers local anesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortable. They then create an opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber. The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the interior of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. Afterward, the space is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the tooth and prevent further infection.

A crown or other restoration is typically placed on the tooth to restore its function and appearance. While some may fear root canal treatments, they are generally effective in alleviating pain and preserving natural teeth, making them a valuable option in dental care. After the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Regular follow-up visits are important to monitor the health of the treated tooth.
