What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment, often simply referred to as a root canal, is a procedure designed to treat infection within the pulp (core) of a tooth. This is necessary to save the tooth from extraction and alleviate any associated pain.

Why might I need a root canal?

If a tooth’s pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, you may experience symptoms like severe pain, prolonged sensitivity to temperature, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling in nearby gums. A root canal is the recommended solution in these situations.

FAQs

How is the procedure performed?

The process involves:

  1. Removing the infected pulp.
  2. Cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth.
  3. Filling and sealing the space.
  4. Finally, the tooth often requires a crown for protection and restoration.

Is the root canal procedure painful?

Modern root canal procedures are no more painful than getting a filling. At Serio Dental, we prioritize patient comfort, using the latest techniques and anaesthetics to ensure a nearly pain-free experience.

What is the success rate of root canal treatments?

With contemporary techniques and technologies, root canal treatments have a very high success rate. When combined with proper oral care and regular dental check-ups, many teeth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime.

What are the benefits of getting a root canal?

  • Tooth Preservation: Save your natural tooth.
  • Pain Relief: Alleviate pain caused by the infection.
  • Prevention: Prevent the spread of infection to surrounding tissues.
  • Restoration: Restore the tooth’s functionality and appearance.

Are there any alternatives to a root canal?

The primary alternative to a root canal is tooth extraction. However, preserving your natural teeth is always the preferred option due to the functional and aesthetic benefits they offer. If a tooth is extracted, it should ideally be replaced with a dental implant or another prosthesis to prevent other dental issues.
