What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected. The inner part of your tooth, called the pulp, contains nerves and blood vessels. If this pulp becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or other causes, it can cause pain and swelling.

How is the procedure performed?
- Anaesthesia: Your dentist will numb the area around the tooth to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Accessing the pulp: A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
- Removing the infected material: The infected pulp, nerves, and bacteria are carefully removed from the root canals.
- Cleaning and shaping the canals: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped for proper filling.
- Filling the canals: A special material is used to fill and seal the cleaned and shaped root canals.
- Restoring the tooth: In most cases, a crown is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and function.
When is root canal treatment needed?
Persistent tooth pain
This is one of the most common signs of a root canal infection. The pain may be constant or come and go. It can be sharp or dull and may worsen when you chew or bite down.
Abscess
An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the tip of the tooth’s root. This can be quite painful and requires a dentist’s attention as soon as possible.
Tooth loss
An infected tooth may become loose due to damage to the bone supporting it and the tooth may eventually need to be extracted.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

By removing the infection and preserving the tooth structure, a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is important for chewing, speaking, and your overall facial appearance.
