Root canal treatment (endodontic treatments) is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth. Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely. These endodontic treatments are vital for preserving natural teeth and restoring oral health.
ROOT CANAL PROCEDURES
Root canal procedures, often perceived as a dental "last resort," is a dental treatment designed to address infections, injuries, or severe decay within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the innermost part of a tooth, containing nerves and blood vessels. When it becomes infected or damaged, a root canal is often the best way to save the tooth.
Indications for Root Canal Procedures:
Pain or Discomfort: If you experience severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, or pain when biting or chewing, it may indicate the need for a root canal.
Infection: Bacterial infections within the pulp can lead to abscesses or swelling. This requires prompt intervention through a root canal procedure.
Tooth Trauma: Teeth that have been injured due to accidents or fractures may require root canal treatment to prevent infection or pain.
Decay: Advanced dental decay that has reached the pulp of the tooth necessitates a root canal.
Duration: 1 Day
RE-TREATMENTS ROOT CANAL
Root canal retreatment, also known as endodontic retreatment, is a dental procedure performed when the initial root canal treatment fails to fully resolve an infection or problem within a tooth. It involves the removal of the previous root canal filling material, thorough cleaning of the root canals, and resealing to address the issue. The goal is to save the natural tooth and provide relief from pain or infection.
Indications for Root Canal Retreatment:
Persistent Pain: If you experience severe pain or discomfort in a tooth that previously underwent root canal treatment, it may indicate the need for retreatment.
New Infection: In some cases, a new infection may develop, leading to the need for retreatment.
Incomplete Root Canal: Sometimes, the initial root canal procedure may have missed or failed to treat all the root canals, necessitating retreatment.
Recontamination: If the tooth's restoration becomes damaged or improperly sealed, it can lead to recontamination and the need for retreatment.
Duration: 1 Day (sometimes 2-3 sessions necessary)
