What is a root canal?
A root canal, or root canal treatment, is a medical procedure that aims to save a damaged tooth instead of extracting it. When a tooth decays deeply, the decay reaches the pulp of the tooth, which contains the nerves and blood vessels. In this case, the dentist removes the affected part of the nerve, cleans the root canals, and then fills them with a special material to prevent the spread of infection and protect the tooth.

Why do patients resort to root canal treatment?

Deep decay: This is the most common reason for a tooth to need a root canal treatment.

Injury: An injury to the tooth can damage the nerve.

Tooth fracture: If a large part of the tooth is fractured, the nerve may be damaged.

What are the stages of a root canal treatment?

Anesthesia: The area surrounding the tooth is numbed to avoid pain.
Removal of the damaged part: The dentist removes the damaged part of the tooth and the pulp.
Root canal cleaning: The root canals are carefully cleaned to remove bacteria and infected tissue.
Filling: The root canals are filled with a special material.
Placement of a temporary filling: A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth.
Follow-up visit: A crown or permanent filling is placed at the next visit.
