Root Canal
Root Canal
A root canal is a safe and effective treatment used to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. When the soft tissue inside the tooth, called the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep cavities, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and sensitivity. In a root canal procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then it’s sealed and restored with a filling or crown.
This treatment not only relieves pain but also helps preserve your natural tooth for years to come. With advanced techniques and gentle care, root canals today are comfortable and highly successful, helping you restore your dental health without losing your smile.

FAQ
Root canals are performed under local anesthesia, rendering the procedure painless. Modern rotary machines expedite the process compared to manual filing.
Root Canal Treatment renders the tooth vulnerable. A crown becomes crucial to protect and reinforce the tooth, allowing it to withstand chewing forces and function normally. Additionally, it seals the tooth, preventing root canal filling breakage and reinfection.
Unless the tooth is split or devoid of any visible structure, Root Canal Treatment can be employed. Post and core, composed of metal or white fiber, are added to reinforce the tooth and provide a foundation to withstand chewing forces.
Root Canal Treatment is recommended when decay, trauma, or wear reaches the innermost section containing nerves and blood vessels. In such cases, a simple filling is insufficient and the infected tissues must be removed through root canal therapy.
Preserving the tooth helps maintain surrounding bone integrity and keeps adjacent teeth in their ideal positions, preventing collateral damage.
Root Canal Treatment boasts a success rate exceeding 95% due to advanced materials and techniques, including Apex locators, digital X-rays, rotary instruments, fiber posts and CAD-CAM precision crowns. These advancements ensure accuracy, strength and chemical bonding for long-term success.
