Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (known as “Endodontic Treatment”) involves removing the damaged or dead nerve tissues and pus in the root canals of teeth that have become infected. The infected or dead tissue is cleaned away and the residual canal space is also cleaned and disinfected, and the root canal is prepared so that it can be sealed with a filling. The tooth can then be restored and can remain in function for many years provided there is sufficient sound tooth structure to support a new filling or crown.

A temporary filling may be placed in the crown opening to prevent saliva from entering the chamber and root canals, or we might immediately begin the next stage of filling the root canal.

The root canals are generally filled with gutta-percha, a rubber-like material obtained from trees.

In the final stage, the temporary filling is removed and the tooth may be restored by a crown or a filling to reinforce the tooth structure and improve its appearance. You might be prescribed antibiotics and other medication during the course of your treatment
