What is Root Canal and Filling treatment ?
Root canal and filling treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure performed to save a severely decayed or infected tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp from the tooth's root canal system, cleaning and disinfecting the area, and then sealing it with a filling material to prevent further infection.
The root canal is the inner part of the tooth that houses the dental pulp, which consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe tooth pain, sensitivity, and swelling. If left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to abscess formation or the loss of the affected tooth.
During the root canal and filling treatment, the dentist or endodontist will numb the area around the tooth to ensure a comfortable procedure. They will create a small access hole to remove the infected pulp and clean the root canal thoroughly. Afterward, the canal is filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, and a temporary or permanent filling is placed to seal the tooth.
