Preserve your Teeth and Avoid Extraction

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

So what is a root canal? When a tooth becomes infected, it’s usually related to the nerves in the root of your tooth. These infected nerves need to be removed. Left untreated, an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that leads to missing teeth and bone loss in your jaw.

When do you need a Root Canal Treatment?

  • Tooth decay that reaches the nerve
  • Persistent toothache or sensitivity
  • Infection or swelling around the tooth
  • Cracked or injured tooth

Let’s take you through the
procedure at Stoma Dental Care

  • On the initial visit to the Stoma Advanced Dental Care dental, our endodontist will conduct an X-ray oral examination for your teeth to determine the extent of the infection
  • Then using local anaesthesia, we will numb the area around the affected tooth and remove the decay in the tooth.
  • The infected tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
  • The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to prevent further infection.
  • Finally, a crown or filling is placed to restore the tooth’s strength and function.

Post treatment care

  • Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until restored
  • Take prescribed medications as directed
  • Maintain good oral hygiene
  • Attend follow-up appointments

Re-RCT

Re-RCT is performed when a previously treated tooth exhibits signs of persistent infection, inadequate healing, or new issues. The procedure is similar to the initial root canal treatment but involves removing existing filling materials and addressing the underlying problem.

Reasons for Re-RCT:
  1. Incomplete removal of infected tissue in the initial root canal.
  2. Complicated root canal anatomy not addressed in the first treatment.
  3. Development of new infections or decay.
  4. Crown or restoration failure leading to reinfection.
