Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at saving a severely infected or damaged tooth.

Root canal treatment offers several benefits, including pain relief, by addressing severe toothache caused by infection or inflammation within the tooth. By removing infected pulp tissue and disinfecting the tooth's interior, root canal therapy effectively eliminates the source of pain.
Additionally, this procedure preserves the natural tooth structure, preventing the need for extraction and maintaining chewing function and bite alignment. Root canal-treated teeth are restored with a dental crown or filling, providing long-term durability and aesthetic appeal.
Ultimately, root canal treatment helps save teeth and restore oral health, promoting a confident and comfortable smile.
The dentist begins by numbing the tooth and surrounding area with local anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort. Next, they create a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp chamber and root canals.

Using specialised instruments, the dentist carefully removes the infected or diseased pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove bacteria and debris thoroughly.
Once the root canals are cleaned and shaped, they are filled with a biocompatible material, usually gutta-percha, to seal off the space and prevent recontamination. The access opening in the crown is then sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.

In many cases, a dental crown is placed over the tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance. The crown protects the treated tooth and restores its natural shape, allowing the patient to bite and chew comfortably.
