The Root Canal Procedure

Diagnosis

Your dentist will perform a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection.

Treatment

After numbing the area, an opening is made in the tooth to remove the infected pulp. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and filled with a biocompatible material.

Restoration

The tooth is sealed with a filling or crown to restore its function and appearance.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

Before the procedure, local anaesthesia is administered to try and help keep you comfortable. The treatment usually takes one or two visits. Afterward, you might experience mild discomfort or pain, which can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups is crucial for the longevity of the treated tooth.
