Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity, especially to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Discoloration of the affected tooth
- Prolonged discomfort following dental procedures or trauma
The Root Canal Procedure
- Initial Evaluation: Dr. Dubey will perform a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection or damage and to develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
- Access Opening: An access hole is made in the top of the tooth to reach the pulp chamber and root canals.
- Pulp Removal: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the root canals.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The empty canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare for filling.
- Filling: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, which seals the canals and prevents future infection.
- Restoration: A temporary or permanent crown is placed on the tooth to restore its function and protect it from further damage.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Pain Relief: The procedure alleviates the pain associated with infection or damage, allowing you to return to normal function.
- Tooth Preservation: Root canal therapy helps save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted, preserving your natural smile and bite.
- Restored Function: Once treated and restored, the tooth can function normally for chewing and speaking.
