+ WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?
A Root Canal Treatment is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth. The pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, is cleaned out, and the inside of the tooth is disinfected. The tooth is then filled and sealed to prevent further infection, preserving the natural tooth and alleviating pain.
+ Removal of Infected Pulp: Root Canal Treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp (nerves & blood vessels) from inside of tooth, cleaning & disinfecting the area.
+Sealing and Restoration: The tooth is then filled, sealed, and often restored with a crown to prevent further infection and preserve the natural tooth.

- Pain Relief: It effectively alleviates severe toothache caused by infection and inflammation within the tooth's pulp chamber and root canals.
- Prevent Further Complications: By cleaning and sealing the tooth after removing infected pulp, Root Canal Treatment prevents the spread of infection to surrounding tissues and avoids the need for more extensive dental procedures like extraction.
- Restore Function: After treatment, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown, enabling normal chewing and biting functions as it would with a healthy tooth.
- Long-term Oral Health: Maintaining the natural tooth with Root Canal Treatment helps preserve overall oral health, preventing potential issues.

- Persistent or Severe Tooth Pain: Pain that persists over time or becomes severe, particularly when you bite down or apply pressure to the tooth.

- Swelling or Tenderness in Gums: Swelling or tenderness in the gums around the affected tooth, often accompanied by sensitivity or pain.
- Discolouration or Darkening of the Tooth: Noticeable changes in the colour of the tooth, which can indicate internal damage or infection affecting the pulp.
