Root Canal Therapy
How Do We Perform Root Canal Therapy?
In case nerve of your tooth gets abscessed or infected, one and only way to treat and save your infected tooth is Root canal Therapy. Because of cracked tooth, deep decay or trauma, tooth gets abscessed. Tooth extraction is one and only alternative option to root canal.
Like filling, tooth becomes insensitive during the procedure of root canal treatment. To remove bacterial infection, unhealthy nerve is replaced with medicine in the abscessed tooth. When the infection is treated and removed, dentists place filing in place of unhealthy nerves.

Step by Step Process of Root Canal Treatment
- When the tooth is anesthetized, dentists make a small hole inside the pulp chamber where the canals are measured and shaped and cleansed.
- Gutta-Percha is a material like rubber, filled into the canal and temporary filling and germ-free cotton pellets are used to seal the opening.
- Basically tooth is recovered in few weeks. When the tooth is treated, crown is placed over it to provide complete protection. If sufficient structure is not formed on the tooth to hold buildup of core, they may post a post within. Then, all the infected areas surrounding the roots start healing.
