Root Canal Treatment

Save Your Tooth With Expert Care

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth. It is necessary when the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged.
This treatment helps to save the tooth and prevent the spread of infection. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal, and then filling and sealing it.

What Are The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Preserving your natural teeth is important for maintaining proper chewing and speaking functions, as well as for preventing other teeth from shifting.
Additionally, root canal treatment can alleviate the pain caused by an infected tooth and eliminate the infection, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the mouth and body.

Root Canal Treatment
Neglecting root canal treatment can lead to several dental problems:
  • Increased Pain: The infection and inflammation can cause severe and persistent pain.
  • Abscess Formation: Untreated infections can lead to the formation of abscesses, which are pus-filled pockets that form at the root of the tooth.
  • Bone Loss: Infections can spread to the surrounding bone, leading to bone loss and further complications.
  • Tooth Loss: Severe infection can result in the need for tooth extraction.
  • Spread of Infection: Infections can spread to other parts of the body, potentially leading to more serious health issues.
Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is painless. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity in the treated area for a few days after the procedure.
Your dentist may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to manage any post-treatment discomfort. Modern techniques and anesthetics have made root canal treatments much more comfortable than they were in the past.
It is important to follow your dentist's post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
The cost of root canal treatment varies depending on the tooth affected and the complexity of the procedure. Molars are generally more expensive to treat than front teeth due to their location and the complexity of their root structure.
Dental insurance often covers part of the cost of root canal treatment, so it's important to check with your provider. Your dentist can provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs.
