ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Root canal treatment, often referred to as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed, potentially preventing the need for tooth extraction. At Fara Dental, we specialize in providing compassionate and expert care for root canal treatments to restore your dental health and preserve your natural teeth.

Overview of Root Canal Treatment:

1. Diagnosis and Assessment: Before the procedure, our skilled dentists conduct a thorough examination, which may include digital X-rays, to assess the extent of infection or damage within the tooth and surrounding tissues.
2. Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, we administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area and minimize any discomfort.
3. Pulp Removal: During the root canal procedure, the dentist carefully removes the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue).
4. Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canal space is meticulously cleaned and disinfected to remove bacteria and debris, reducing the risk of further infection.
5. Filling and Sealing: After cleaning, the root canal is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the canal and prevent re-infection. The tooth may also be restored with a dental crown to provide strength and protection.
6. Follow-up Care: Post-treatment care instructions are provided to ensure proper healing. It is important to attend follow-up appointments to monitor the tooths healing and ensure its functionality.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment:

• Preservation of Natural Tooth: Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and potential replacement with a dental implant or bridge.
• Relief from Pain: By removing infected tissue and eliminating bacteria, root canal treatment alleviates pain and discomfort associated with severe tooth infections or abscesses.
• Improvement in Oral Health: Restoring the health of the tooth through root canal therapy contributes to overall oral health and prevents the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and tissues.
• Functional Restoration: With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can function normally and contribute to chewing and biting effectively.
• Cosmetic Benefits: A dental crown placed after root canal treatment can enhance the appearance of the tooth, restoring its natural shape, size, and color.
