What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at treating infection or damage in the pulp—the soft inner tissue of your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to intense pain, abscesses, and eventual tooth loss if untreated. The procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the canal system, and sealing the tooth to prevent future infection—all while preserving your natural tooth structure.

Types of Root Canal Treatments

At Diamond Dental Clinic, we provide various types of root canal procedures tailored to your specific dental condition:

• Standard (Anterior or Posterior) Root Canal: For front or back teeth, depending on the complexity and number of canals involved.

• Single-Visit Root Canal: Ideal for less complex infections or anterior teeth, completed in one appointment.

• Multi-Visit Root Canal: Necessary for molars or teeth with severe infection or abscess formation; involves multiple sessions.

• Retreatment Root Canal: If a previously treated tooth becomes reinfected, we reopen and clean the canals, then reseal the tooth for long-term health.

• Surgical Root Canal (Apicoectomy): A minor surgical procedure used when traditional root canal therapy fails, involving removal of the tip of the root.
  

Step-by-Step Root Canal Procedure

Here’s what to expect during a typical root canal treatment at our Daiya clinic:

1. Consultation & Diagnosis:
   We begin with digital X-rays and an oral examination to assess the extent of the infection and determine the number of canals involved.

2. Local Anesthesia:
   Your comfort is our top priority. The area around the affected tooth is numbed using local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience.

3. Access & Cleaning:
   A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp. Specialized instruments are used to clean, shape, and disinfect the canals thoroughly.

4. Filling the Canal:
   The canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, which seals the space to prevent bacterial reinfection.

5. Temporary/Final Restoration:
   A temporary filling is placed if a second visit is required. Otherwise, the tooth is permanently sealed and restored with a dental crown to strengthen and protect it.
   

Who Is a Good Candidate for Root Canal?

You may be an ideal candidate for root canal therapy if you experience:

• Persistent tooth pain or throbbing discomfort

• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers

• Swollen or tender gums near a specific tooth

• Tooth discoloration or darkening

• Deep cavities or dental trauma

• A pimple-like bump on the gums (sign of abscess)

Our expert dentists in Daiya will conduct a thorough evaluation to confirm if a root canal is the right solution for you.

Aftercare & Maintenance for Root Canal Treated Teeth

Proper care after your root canal ensures longevity and oral health:

• Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the permanent crown is placed.

• Maintain excellent oral hygiene—brush twice daily, floss gently, and use a mild antibacterial mouthwash.

• Attend follow-up appointments for crown placement and evaluation.

• Stay alert for any signs of discomfort—while rare, reinfection may require retreatment.

• Avoid hard or sticky foods that may crack or loosen temporary restorations.

With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last as long as your natural teeth.
