Many patients feel nervous when they hear the words “root canal,” but in reality, root canal treatment is a common and highly effective way to save a natural tooth. At Rose Medical Clinic, we perform safe and gentle root canal procedures to relieve pain and restore your dental health.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also called endodontic therapy, removes infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the tooth. After our team thoroughly cleans and disinfects the area, we seal the tooth to block future infection.
Dentists typically recommend this procedure when:
- The tooth suffers from severe decay or structural damage
- An infection or abscess forms at the root tip
- You experience ongoing tooth pain or sensitivity
- A previous filling or crown no longer works
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Pain Relief: You’ll feel significant relief from pressure and infection.
- Tooth Preservation: This procedure helps you keep your natural tooth.
- Improved Oral Health: It prevents the infection from spreading to nearby teeth and gums.
- Efficient Recovery: Most people resume their normal activities the next day.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Here’s what happens step by step:
- We apply local anesthesia to numb the area.
- Your dentist makes a small opening to access the pulp.
- We carefully remove the infected tissue and clean the canals.
- We fill and seal the tooth; in most cases, a crown follows to protect it.
Post-Treatment Care
Following your root canal treatment, expect mild sensitivity. To aid recovery, remember to:
- Avoid chewing on the treated side until your crown is fitted
- Brush and floss daily
- Keep up with your follow-up dental visits
Conclusion: Don’t Delay Necessary Treatment
Delaying treatment for dental pain or infection risks tooth loss and other health complications. Fortunately, it offers a trusted, effective solution to save your tooth and ease discomfort.
