What is the Root Canal?

Root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the innermost layer of the tooth, containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to factors such as deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth.

During a root canal procedure, the dentist or endodontist (a specialist in root canal therapy) numbs the affected tooth and creates an opening to access the pulp chamber and root canals. The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the interior of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove any bacteria or debris.

After cleaning the tooth’s interior, the dentist fills the empty pulp chamber and root canals with a biocompatible material, typically a rubber-like substance called gutta-percha, to seal off the space and prevent further infection. In some cases, a dental crown may be placed over the treated tooth to provide additional protection and restore its strength and function.

Root canal therapy effectively eliminates infection, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth from extraction, preserving its function and appearance. With proper care and maintenance, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime, allowing the patient to maintain a healthy smile and optimal oral health.
