Rootcanal treatments

Root canal treatment, often referred to as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat and save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed.

Here's an overview of root canal treatment:

• Purpose: The primary goal of root canal treatment is to remove infected or damaged tissue (pulp) from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the root canals, and then seal the space to prevent further infection.
• Indications: Root canal treatment is typically recommended for teeth with the following issues:
  
• Deep decay that has reached the inner pulp chamber.
• Severe infection or abscess at the root of the tooth.
• Trauma or injury that has damaged the pulp.
• Persistent toothache or sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.
• Restoration: After root canal treatment, the tooth may be weakened and more susceptible to fracture. Therefore, a dental crown is often placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance.
• Aftercare: Following root canal treatment, patients may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. It's important to follow any post-operative instructions provided by the dentist and to maintain good oral hygiene habits.
