Benefits of root canal treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is designed to save a tooth when the internal pulp tissue becomes infected. This procedure involves cleaning out the tooth canals, filling them with a special material and securely sealing the tooth.
One of the main benefits is that it prevents the need for tooth extraction, which can lead to further complications. At Siha Dental, we prioritise preserving natural teeth whenever possible. Root canal treatment is often more cost-effective in the long run compared to extraction, as it eliminates the need for a prosthetic replacement like a dental implant.
Why might I need root canal treatment?
You may need root canal treatment if you experience severe decay, a deep fracture, or an injury that has caused damage to the internal pulp of your tooth. These issues can lead to infection, which may spread through the root canals and result in an abscess.
Root canal treatment is a vital procedure that helps save the tooth from further damage. If left untreated, the infection can cause degeneration of the surrounding bone, ultimately leading to the need for tooth extraction.
The root canal procedure at Siha Dental
Initial appointment
During your initial appointment for root canal treatment, the dentist will carefully remove the infected pulp along with any abscesses that may be present.
Comfort ensured
To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, local anaesthetic is administered, allowing your dentist to work gently and effectively.
Cleaning
Once the infected tissue is removed, the root canal is meticulously cleaned and shaped to prepare for the replacement material.
Temporary filling
A temporary filling is then placed to protect the tooth while it settles.
Follow-up appointment
At your follow-up appointment, your dentist will assess the tooth to ensure that all infection has cleared.
Permanent filling
If the tooth has healed properly, it will then be permanently filled and sealed, providing you with a restored tooth that can function normally.
