Quick Summary
Root canal treatment at Dentistry on Duncan Mill removes the infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth, eliminates the source of pain, and seals the cleaned canals to prevent reinfection. The procedure has a significant reputation for being painful — this reputation is outdated. Modern endodontic techniques and effective anaesthesia mean most patients report that root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed. Saving your natural tooth through root canal therapy is almost always preferable to extraction.
Digital X-rays confirm the diagnosis and reveal the number, shape, and curvature of root canals to be treated.
The tooth and surrounding tissue are completely numbed. You should feel pressure but no pain during the procedure.
Using rotary endodontic files, the infected pulp is removed and the canals are precisely shaped to receive the filling material.
Irrigating solutions flush bacteria and debris from the canals. Biolaser therapy can be used to further decontaminate.
The cleaned canals are filled with gutta-percha and sealed. A crown is placed in a subsequent appointment to protect the treated tooth.
