Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is performed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing infected pulp tissue, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Benefits
- Saves natural teeth from extraction
- Eliminates pain and infection
- Restores normal chewing function
- Long-lasting results
Procedure
After numbing, the dentist removes infected pulp tissue, disinfects the canals, and fills them with a biocompatible material. A crown is often placed afterward to restore strength and appearance.
Recovery and Follow-Up
Recovery after a root canal typically involves mild soreness or sensitivity for a few days, especially when chewing or touching the treated area. Stick to soft foods, avoid chewing on the treated side, and maintain gentle oral hygiene—your dentist may also recommend pain relievers or cold compresses. A follow-up visit is usually scheduled within a week or two to monitor healing and place a permanent crown if needed
