Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment is a procedure used to save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp inside. At Dento Hub Dental and Implant Centre, we use advanced technology for a painless and precise experience. The tooth is cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed to prevent further infection. This treatment relieves pain, preserves your natural tooth, and restores normal function. It’s a safe and effective way to avoid tooth extraction and maintain your smile’s health and integrity.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for RCT
- Severe tooth pain — persistent or throbbing pain, especially when biting or chewing.
- Prolonged sensitivity — discomfort to hot or cold that lingers after stimulus removal.
- Swelling and tenderness — swelling in nearby gums or face, accompanied by tenderness.
- Darkening of the tooth — discoloration or darkening of the affected tooth.
- Pimple on gums — a recurring or persistent pimple-like bump near the tooth root.
- Deep decay or injury — visible deep cavities or trauma affecting the tooth’s pulp.
Procedure of Root Canal Treatment:
- Examination & Diagnosis – Thorough evaluation using clinical exams and digital X-rays to assess infection.
- Anesthesia – Local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area for a painless procedure.
- Access Opening – A small opening is made in the tooth to reach the infected pulp chamber.
- Cleaning & Shaping – Infected pulp tissue is removed, and the canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped.
- Filling the Canals – The cleaned canals are filled with biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to seal them.
- Restoration – The access opening is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling; often followed by a crown for protection.
