The soft inner part of the teeth, known as the pulp, may require a root canal procedure when it becomes injured or infected. If left untreated for an extended period, the infection can rapidly spread to adjacent areas. Typically performed under anesthesia, a root canal involves thorough cleaning of the interior to prevent further penetration of new infections. Following this, medication is applied and the tooth is sealed. As a root canal procedure weakens the tooth, it is essential to have a crown fixed as part of the post-treatment process.

This is the first and foremost step of the root canal. A root canal is a very painful experience, thus to ease the pain, anaesthesia is always preferred.
When under anaesthesia, the most painful part takes place, that is removing the infected pulp. The pulp is removed by making a small opening on top of the tooth.
After the infected pulp is removed, the area will be coated with antibiotics to confirm prevention of further infection. Antibiotics will also be prescribed for better healing.
The procedure will end by filling the small opening created during the process. This temporary filling prevents saliva from damaging the canal.
When any of your teeth are getting close to a root canal, it means that you’re already experiencing immense pain. Root canal is a saviour for this unbearing pain and it’s necessary you get the help at the earliest.
The ultimate goal of root canal is to preserve your natural teeth. When the pulp below your teeth is infected, overtime the tooth can start getting affected too. Thus, to save your teeth, root canal comes to the rescue!
Root canal prevents further complications and treatments. If the treatment is not performed in time, it can be manifested into a bigger problem with a more expensive treatment such as tooth extraction.
