A tooth contains more than the hard enamel visible in the mouth. At its centre is soft tissue known as the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels.
When this tissue becomes severely inflamed or infected because of deep decay, cracks, trauma or other dental problems, root canal treatment may be required.
At AVMSmiles Semmencherry / OMR, treatment begins with a clinical examination. The dentist evaluates your symptoms and takes appropriate X-rays to understand the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues.
The tooth is then isolated and the infected or inflamed tissue inside the root canal system is removed. The canals are carefully cleaned and shaped before being disinfected and sealed.
After the root canal procedure, the tooth requires a suitable final restoration. Depending on the amount of healthy tooth structure remaining and the position of the tooth, this may include a filling, core restoration or dental crown.
A crown is commonly considered for back teeth because they are exposed to greater chewing forces.
Root canal treatment is intended to preserve a natural tooth that might otherwise require extraction. Treatment outcome depends on the condition of the tooth, extent of infection, surrounding bone and gums, and appropriate follow-up care.
Seek dental advice if you experience persistent toothache, prolonged sensitivity, pain while chewing, swelling or recurring discomfort from the same tooth.
