Root Canal Treatment is a dental procedure used to remove infection from the inner part of a tooth known as the pulp. Infection may develop due to deep decay, injury, or untreated dental conditions, leading to pain, swelling, and damage to the tooth structure. This treatment focuses on cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, followed by sealing the space to prevent further bacterial growth. By preserving the natural tooth, this approach helps maintain normal function and avoids the need for tooth removal.

Root Canal Treatment also provides several important benefits for oral health. It helps relieve persistent tooth pain and sensitivity, restores the ability to chew and bite comfortably, and prevents infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and gums. The procedure supports long-term tooth preservation, maintains natural appearance, and contributes to overall dental stability. With proper restoration and care, the treated tooth can remain functional and durable for many years.

Root Canal Treatment begins with consultation by the dentist at our affiliated clinic, where the condition of the tooth is carefully assessed using clinical examination and dental imaging. Once the diagnosis confirms infection within the tooth, the procedure is planned and performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. During the procedure, infected tissue inside the tooth is removed, followed by thorough cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system to eliminate bacteria and stop the spread of infection.

After cleaning, the inner space of the tooth is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to protect against reinfection. In most cases, a follow-up restoration such as a dental crown is completed to strengthen the tooth and restore full function. Mild sensitivity may occur for about 3 to 7 days after the procedure, with minimal downtime allowing return to normal daily activities within 1 to 2 days.
