Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. The procedure involves the removal of the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels), followed by cleaning and disinfecting the empty pulp chamber and root canals. Once the area is cleaned, it is filled with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth. In most cases, a crown is placed over the tooth to restore its function and appearance. Root canal treatment helps prevent the need for tooth extraction and can provide long-term relief from pain caused by infection or injury.
While root canal therapy may sound intimidating, it is typically not as painful as people often expect. Modern techniques and anesthesia ensure that the procedure is relatively comfortable, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort afterward. The treatment helps to alleviate the symptoms of an infected tooth, such as pain, swelling, and sensitivity to temperature, allowing patients to preserve their natural teeth. With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last for many years, making it a valuable option for maintaining dental health.
