Root canal treatment Mostrare di più
Beneath the white enamel or your teeth and the dentin layer, there is soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp is made up of blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues, which can become inflamed or infected. This could result from bacteria, tooth decay or traumatic injury. Therefore, a root canal procedure involves the cleaning of the pulp. Symptoms that may precede root canal treatment include pain when eating or chewing, swollen gums, facial swelling, or the tooth may darken in colour.

What are the steps of root canal treatment? Mostrare di più
Root canal treatment begins with an X-ray scan, and sometimes a CT scan, to assess what work needs to be done. Next, the tooth and surrounding area is numbed with a local anaesthetic. Once numbed, the tooth is covered with a rubber sheet to keep the area as sterile as possible and a small hole is made on the surface of the tooth. Through this hole, the dentist has access to the pulp of the tooth, allowing the root canal system to be cleaned out.
