Root Canal treatment
Root Canal Treatment is not that painful as many believe. The pain is less intense as in the Filling surgery. Certain inhibitions restrain people from consulting an Endodontist regarding the Root Canal Treatment.
Let’s dig deep into what happens in your Tooth while undergoing Root Canal Treatment
- In the first visit, with the support of X-ray, Endodontists get to know the shape of the Root canals and check for any infected bones and tissues.
- After that, the Endodontist may administer local anaesthesia to create numbness near the affected area.
- To keep the area free from saliva and to maintain dryness, the Endodontist will place a rubber dam abutting the affected tooth area.
- Now, to access the pulp of the Tooth, a hole will be drilled on the Tooth. Then the debris of the pulp and bacteria would be taken out from the Tooth.
- After removing the bacteria, the cleaning process will be commenced. While cleaning, files of increasing diameter will be used to reach the depth and scrub the sides of root canals.
- The accumulated debris generated in the process will be pumped out using Water or Sodium Hypochlorite.
- Once the cleaning process is done, the drilled portion needs to be sealed.
If the person needs medication, the endodontist may wait for some days to seal the Tooth. - After the final assessment, the Sealing process will be started.
- The Tooth’s Root Canal will be filled with Gutta Percha, a Rubber compound, which is a sealer paste.
- Then the exterior hole, which was drilled to access the Tooth’s Root, will be closed using a Filling material.
- In the final step, the restoration of Tooth support is done.
