Root Canal Treatment Process
The entire root canal procedure provided by us may take place in one sitting, or in 2-3 sittings depending on the condition of the tooth. Each sitting may last between 30 - 90 minutes. It is a simple procedure with very little discomfort to the patient.
Reaching the root
Initially, we use local anesthesia to the infected tooth and the surrounding areas to make it numb(insensitive).
Then we drill an opening through the cap or the crown covering the surface of the tooth to reach to the pulp chamber.
Removing the Infected Tissue
We then use special files to clean out the infected and unhealthy pulp from the canals. This procedure does not cause any pain as the area is already insensitive due to the anesthesia, and the tissue that is removed is dead.
Once all the infected and dead tissue is removed, the canals are disinfected using disinfectants. The canals are then washed and cleaned using irrigation method and the unwanted debris is removed. After that we shape the canals with fine instruments.
Filling the Canals
We then fill the canals with a permanent material known as gutta-percha.
This helps to keep the canals free of infection or contamination.
Rebuilding the tooth
Finally, the canals are sealed. For this, a temporary cover material is used which acts like a seal and is placed above the gutta percha. This covering material is kept in place until the tooth receives a permanent filling or a crown. A crown, sometimes called a cap, looks like a natural tooth. It is placed over the top of the tooth.
Extra Support
In some cases, we insert a post into the root next to the gutta percha to give the crown more support.
The Crowning touch
Thereafter, we cement the crown in place so that it is fixed well in that position.
