What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal problems occur when the soft pulp inside the tooth becomes infected. The infected tissue may lead to an abscess, which is not only painful, but if not treated can lead to the loss of the tooth.

Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue and root, and with thorough cleaning and a bit of TLC the tooth should be saved.

What is involved in the treatment of Root Canals?

The procedure will be performed under a local anesthetic so it isn’t painful, and the after-effects shouldn’t be any more discomforting than a normal filling.

To gain access to the nerve in the tooth root, your dentist will make a small opening in the top of the tooth. The infected tissue will be removed through the hole, and the resulting cavity cleared of debris and cleansed thoroughly. To make sure there are no further signs of infection a temporary filling will be put in place, which is removed and replaced with a permanent filling or crown a few days later if there are no signs of infection.
