Root Canal Treatment to Save Your Natural Tooth

When infection reaches the inside of a tooth, root canal treatment can remove the damaged tissue while preserving your natural tooth. This treatment relieves discomfort, eliminates infection, and helps restore normal function so you can continue smiling, eating, and speaking with confidence.

01.

Process of Root Canal Treatment

  • Your dentist examines the affected tooth and may recommend digital X-rays to evaluate the extent of the infection.
  • After numbing the area, a small opening is created to access the inside of the tooth.
  • The infected tissue is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and sealed to help prevent future infection.
  • In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.

02.

What Are the Next Steps?

  • Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your dentist says it’s ready for normal function.
  • Take any prescribed medications and follow your aftercare instructions to support healing.
  • Return for your permanent restoration if one is recommended.
  • Continue brushing, flossing, and attending regular dental checkups to help protect your restored tooth.

FAQ

  • How long does it take for a root canal to fully heal?

    Most patients feel better within a few days, but complete healing of the surrounding tissues may take several weeks.

  • How many root canals can you have?

    There’s no set limit. You can have root canal treatment on multiple teeth if it’s the best option for preserving your natural smile.

  • How long can a root canal last without a crown?

    A treated tooth is more vulnerable without a crown. If one is recommended, it’s best to have it placed as soon as possible to protect the tooth.
