What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the inside tissue of the tooth, called the pulp. The pulp contains the nerves and blood vessels, giving life to the tooth. However, infection, decay, or trauma can damage the pulp. Endodontic treatment cleans the damaged tissue and saves the tooth.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is the most common procedure in endodontics. It involves removing infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth, followed by cleaning and filling the tooth to restore its function.
One of the most effective ways to maintain dental health is to preserve the tooth's internal structure with root canal therapy. Endodontics treats infected or damaged tissues in the tooth's roots, allowing you to continue living with healthy teeth without losing them.
How is Root Canal Treatment Done?
- Examination and X-ray: The condition of the tooth is assessed, and the root structure is examined with an X-ray.
- Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.
- Pulp Cleaning: Infected tissue and bacteria are removed from inside the tooth.
- Canal Shaping: The root canals are cleaned and enlarged using special instruments.
- Filling and Sealing: The canals are filled with a biocompatible material, and the tooth is usually strengthened with a crown.
