Understanding Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a procedure designed to clean out a tooth’s irreparably damaged or infected nerve and replace it with a filling. The nerve, a small, thread-like tissue located in the center of the tooth, can become damaged, diseased, or dead due to various reasons. During the treatment, the compromised pulp is removed, and the remaining space is meticulously cleaned, shaped, and filled. This process effectively seals off the root canal permanently. In the past, teeth with diseased or injured pulps often had to be extracted. Thankfully, advancements in dental care now allow root canal treatments to save many teeth that would have otherwise been lost.

Root Canal Procedure
Generally, a root canal treatment can be done over 2-3 sessions with the placement of an antibacterial medicine inside the nerve space in between appointments to relieve pain and clear infection. From the patientās perspective, the procedure wonāt feel too much different than having a normal filling done. Root canals have a high success rate of about 90-95% over 10 years.
To ensure the longevity of the root canal we recommend having a crown placed on you root treated tooth. This is especially important on back teeth which are used for chewing and helps protects the tooth from breaking down ensuring your Root Canal isnāt performed in vain.
