Careful Diagnosis and Local Anaesthetic
Detailed imaging is used to prove infection in the tooth. The procedure is performed with numbing in that area to ensure that you are comfortable during the procedure.
Removal of Infected Pulp
An incision is made into the tooth in order to reach the infected pulp. The same is done with the damaged tissue; the inner canals are washed out and molded to get rid of bacteria.
This action eliminates the cause of agony.
Cleaning and Sealing the Canals
The canals are also disinfected and filled with a biocompatible filling material, which is also sealed. This helps to ensure that the bacteria do not reenter and stabilises the tooth structure.
Restoration with a Dental Crown
A crown could be needed to give the treated tooth a long term durability following root canal treatment. A custom crown gives back the lost strength, keeps the tooth intact against fracture, and keeps it natural. This last stage provides the tooth with a normal functioning ability in the process of chewing and speaking.
