WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?

Do you suffer from an infected tooth? Then you might need to get a root canal. This is one of the safest ways of saving your tooth.

A root canal is an important procedure that is performed to save a tooth from extraction once it has been badly infected. Root canals are typically performed on badly decayed teeth. By removing the infected pulp found within the tooth, your dentist will be able to protect the rest of the tooth and gum from the spread of infection.

ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE

While a root canal procedure might seem painful. A qualified dentist will be able to perform the procedure painlessly and completely free you of pain and infection.

ACCESS

Your dentist will begin by creating a hole in your tooth. Through this hole is where he will remove the infected dental pulp. Sometimes the infection might have spread to the root. Depending on the spread of infection, it might be necessary to also remove the root.

CLEAN & SEAL

Once this is done, the endodontist will clean the area to prevent future reinfection. Once cleaned, the area will be sealed using a substance called gutta-percha that helps stabilize the previously infected tooth.

STRENGTHEN

Typically, it is recommended that you strengthen the tooth with a crown or a filling. This also protects your tooth from infection.

ROOT CANAL FAQS

A root canal is one of the most popular treatments for an infected tooth.

A root canal procedure can be performed in only one dental visit. However, to maintain the health of your teeth, you will need to keep up with your regular visits as advised by your dentist.
At ICO Dental, our patients’ needs come first. That means we take extra precautions to prevent pain. A root canal procedure is not painful because your dentist will numb the area. However, if you suffer from anxiety, sedation dentistry is an option to help relax you during the treatment.
Although some people believe that root canals cause illness – this is not true. There is no evidence that shows a link between illnesses and root canal treatment.
No. The tooth is actually saved from extraction. You get to keep your natural tooth and ensure its health for years to come. Your dentist only removes the infected dental pulp while protecting the rest of your tooth.
