Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). The treatment helps save the natural tooth instead of removing it

Deep decay (cavity) reaches the pulp
Cracked or fractured tooth exposes the nerves
Repeated dental procedures weaken the tooth
Infection or abscess develops in the tooth root

Procedure

1. Diagnosis – X-rays determine the extent of damage.
2. Anesthesia – Local anesthesia numbs the area.
3. Pulp Removal – The infected pulp inside the tooth is removed.
4. Cleaning & Disinfection – The root canals are cleaned to remove bacteria.
5. Filling & Sealing – The canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha).
6. Crown Placement – A dental crown is placed to protect the treated tooth
