What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to remove infected or inflamed pulp (nerve tissue) inside a tooth. This treatment relieves pain, stops infection from spreading, and saves your natural tooth from extraction.
At Retaj Medical Center, our experienced endodontists use advanced technology and gentle techniques to make root canal treatment comfortable, safe, and stress-free.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
You may need root canal treatment if you experience:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swollen or tender gums
- A darkened or discolored tooth
- Pain while chewing or biting
- A dental abscess or pimple on the gums
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Relieves tooth pain and discomfort
- Saves your natural tooth
- Prevents spread of infection
- Restores normal chewing function
- Preserves jawbone and tooth alignment
- Improves oral health and comfort
- Prevents the need for extraction or implants
Orthodontic Treatment
01
Step
Clinical Examination & Diagnosis
A comprehensive oral examination is performed, including digital radiographs, to assess the extent of infection and confirm the need for root canal treatment.
02
Step
Local Anesthesia & Isolation
The affected tooth is anesthetized to ensure patient comfort. A rubber dam is placed to isolate the tooth and maintain a sterile working environment.
03
Step
Access & Pulp Removal
A small access opening is created to reach the pulp chamber. The infected or inflamed pulp tissue is carefully removed from the root canals.
04
Step
Cleaning, Shaping & Disinfection
The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using specialized instruments and antibacterial solutions to eliminate bacteria and debris.
05
Step
Canal Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
06
Step
Final Restoration
The tooth is restored with a permanent filling or crown to regain strength, function, and protection.
