Root Canal
The space inside the tooth from the center, known as the pulp chamber, that travels down the length of the root to the tip is called a “canal”. Human teeth may have one to four root canals, depending on the anatomy of the tooth.
**Root Canals are referred to an Endodontist Specialist for root canal treatments.

Root Canal
What is the procedure?
- Local anesthesia is applied to prevent pain.
- A dental dam isolates the tooth to keep it dry and clean.
- The dentist drills a small access hole in the tooth.
- Infected pulp and bacteria are removed from the root canals.
- The canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
- They are then filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to prevent reinfection.
- A temporary filling is placed until a permanent crown or filling is added.
- In most cases, a dental crown is recommended for strength and durability.
⏳ 1-2 visits (60-90 minutes each) depending on the severity of infection.
No! Modern anesthesia and techniques make root canals virtually painless—similar to getting a filling. Any post-treatment discomfort is mild and manageable.
✅ Brush & floss regularly to maintain oral health.
✅ Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until fully restored.
✅ Get a crown if recommended to protect the tooth from fracture.
✅ Visit your dentist for regular checkups to ensure long-term success.
