Dental root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a common dental procedure aimed at saving a severely damaged or infected tooth. This treatment involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent further infection.

Root Canal Procedure:
Assessment and Diagnosis: The process begins with a thorough examination and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, to determine the extent of damage or infection in the tooth. If the pulp inside the tooth is infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or other factors, root canal treatment may be recommended.
Local Anesthesia: Before the procedure begins, the dentist administers local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring the patient’s comfort throughout the treatment.
Access and Pulp Removal: Using specialized instruments, the dentist creates an opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals. The infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed from the tooth, along with any debris or bacteria.
Cleaning and Disinfection: The dentist thoroughly cleans and disinfects the root canal system to eliminate any remaining bacteria and prevent reinfection. This process may involve irrigation with antimicrobial solutions to ensure the canals are completely free of infection.
Shaping and Filling: Once the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, they are shaped using small files to prepare them for filling. The canals are then filled with a biocompatible material, such as gutta-percha, to seal them and prevent bacteria from re-entering.
Sealing and Restoration: After filling the root canals, the dentist seals the opening in the tooth with a temporary or permanent filling material to protect it from further damage or infection. In some cases, a dental crown may be placed over the tooth to provide additional strength and support.
Follow-up and Monitoring: Following root canal treatment, patients may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. The dentist will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and ensure the tooth is functioning properly.

Benefits of Root Canal:
Preservation of Natural Tooth: Root canal treatment allows patients to preserve their natural tooth and avoid extraction, which can help maintain proper chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of position.
Pain Relief: By removing the infected or inflamed pulp, root canal treatment alleviates tooth pain and discomfort caused by dental infection, allowing patients to regain comfort and function.
Prevention of Further Infection: Root canal treatment eliminates bacteria from the root canal system and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection, helping to preserve oral health and prevent the spread of infection to other teeth or tissues.
Cosmetic Enhancement: Following root canal treatment, the tooth can be restored with a dental crown or other restoration, restoring its appearance, function, and strength, and enhancing the patient’s smile aesthetics.
Long-term Tooth Survival: With proper care and maintenance, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime, providing patients with a durable and reliable solution for tooth preservation.
