Root canal therapy is the treatment of the pulp of the tooth. The objective of this treatment is to save your tooth when the infection reaches the pulp. A normal healthy tooth consists of three layers. The enamel, which is the hardest part of the tooth. The dentine, which is softer than enamel and carries branches of the nerve of the tooth. Then the pulp, which is a soft innermost layer containing nerves and blood vessels.

• Continuous tooth pain.
• Radiating pain either toward the ear or towards the head of the affected side.

How is Root Canal Treatment Done?

We at Dr. Rawal Dental Centre, use the most latest and advanced rotary root canal technique which is less time taking and is more accurate.

Root Canal Therapy involves removing the infected or dead pulp. The canals are then cleaned and shaped. After assesing that the infection has subsided the canals are filled and sealed with a material called ''gutta- percha ''. Once the root canal is complete, the cavity is filled with a permanent filling. In some case where the tooth is badly damaged, a post might be required. Finally, a crown is placed over the tooth to protect it from fracture.

How Long Will the Procedure Take?

In cases, where there is no infection and the treatment is performed from a restorative aspect, it can be done in a single sitting. However root canal treatment usually takes 2-3 visits. Duration between visits depends on the extent of the infection.

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

The actual treatment is not necessarily painful. Most of the pain associated with a root canal is felt before the treatment. In cases with severe infection, antibiotics and pain killers are prescribed to control the infection and the pain.

DENTAL X-RAY is quite a mandatory tool for root canal treatment to assess the condition of the infected or damaged tooth, which may or may not show symptoms.
