Root Canal Treatment:

What is a root canal treatment?


A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The nerve of a tooth and its pulp can get inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on a tooth or a deep filling. During a root canal procedure, the nerve is removed, canals cleaned and the pulp chamber sealed with a filling material. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will remain infected and an abscess may form.

What are the signs a root canal treatment is needed?


Severe toothache like a nerve pain.

Pain on chewing, biting or application of pressure.

Pain radiating to the TMJ joint and giving headaches.

Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.

Discoloration or darkening of the tooth.

Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums.

A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums.

A drainage abscess or bad taste in the mouth.

Fever and general ill-feeling.


Can root canal done in single sitting?


Most of the root canals done in our dental clinic are in a single visit. However, when the tooth is infected or abscessed, multiple sittings maybe required.


Is a crown recommended after root canal procedure?


After a root canal treatment, the tooth is protected by placing a crown or other dental restoration over it. This is because a root canal treated tooth often becomes brittle and placing a crown restores it to full function.
