Root Canal Treatment Procedure

Root canal treatment is usually done when the patient experiences moderate to severe pain, sensitivity, and swelling due to dental caries/decay.

Root canal treatment eliminates pain and saves the tooth. Root canal treatment is done under local anesthesia making sure the area around the particular tooth is numb so that the patient does not feel uncomfortable due to pain. After the area is numb a small hole is been made and all the carious part of the tooth is removed till the pulp chamber. Then the canals in the root are thoroughly rinsed and cleaned making sure no infectious material is present in the tooth.
