A Root Canal is a dental treatment to fix an infected or damaged tooth. The dentist removes the bad part inside the tooth, cleans it out, and seals it to keep it healthy and prevent further problems, saving the tooth from being pulled.
Step-by-step treatment procedure for Root canal at Coral Dental Implants
The dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to determine the extent of the damage and plan the treatment.
Local anaesthesia is applied to numb the affected area, ensuring the procedure is painless.
The dentist makes a small opening in the tooth’s crown to access the infected or damaged pulp.
The infected or dead pulp is removed from the tooth’s root canals using specialized tools.
The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare them for filling.
The cleaned canals are filled with gutta-percha, a biocompatible material that seals them to prevent future infection.
A temporary filling is placed to close the opening. Later, a permanent crown or filling is added to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
