Process of the Root Canal treatment
We take dental X-rays of the problematic tooth before beginning the root canal treatment. This aids in determining the amount of the damage and ensuring that root canal surgery is the best course of action. During your root canal surgery, you will go through the following steps:
Anaesthesia: First, the affected tooth and surrounding gums are numbed using a local anaesthetic. Nitrous gas, oral sedatives, and intravenous (IV) sedation are all drugs used in dentistry to help you relax. If you have dental anxiety, your healthcare practitioner may suggest sedation.
Placing a dental dam: A tiny rubber dam is placed over the infected tooth before root canal treatment begins. This process keeps the tooth dry and isolates it during the treatment.
Access hole: The pulp is then accessed through a small incision in the crown of the tooth.
Pulp is removed. The nerves, blood arteries and tissues inside the tooth are removed with tiny dental devices.
The canals shaping: The pulp chamber and root canals are cleansed, disinfected and shaped after removing the pulp.
Canals filling: The empty canals are subsequently filled with gutta-percha, a flexible, rubbery dental material.
The tooth is sealed: The tooth is then filled with a temporary dental filling to prevent bacteria from re-entering.
Putting the finishing touches on the restoration: To safeguard the treated tooth and restore your bite, you'll almost always need a dental crown. The temporary filling is removed, and the permanent crown is put when your crown is ready. Sometimes you might get a crown and a filling at the same time.
