Root Canal Therapy

What Are Dental Crowns?

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic therapy, is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is infected or decayed. The procedure involves removing the damaged or infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it.

Key Components of Root Canal Therapy

Diagnosis: The process begins with a thorough examination and X-rays to determine the extent of the infection or decay.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring a pain-free procedure.

Pulp Removal: The dentist creates an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed.

Cleaning and Disinfection: The empty pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria.

Filling: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. The tooth is then sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.

Restoration: Finally, a crown or filling is placed on the tooth to restore its function and appearance. This step may be completed in a subsequent visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

With modern techniques and anesthesia, root canal therapy is typically no more painful than getting a filling. Most patients report feeling comfortable during the procedure.

A root canal procedure usually takes one to two visits, with each visit lasting about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.

You may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days following the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage this. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it is fully restored with a crown or filling.

While root canal therapy has a high success rate, it is possible for a tooth to become re-infected if it is not properly sealed or if a new cavity develops. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor the health of the treated tooth.

With proper care, a tooth that has had a root canal can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits are essential for maintaining the health of the treated tooth.
