At YouDent Multi-speciality Dental Clinic, we understand that root canal treatment may seem daunting, but rest assured that our experienced dental team is dedicated to ensuring a comfortable and successful experience for you.

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely infected or damaged due to decay, trauma, or other factors. During a root canal procedure, the infected or inflamed pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then filled and sealed to prevent further infection.

Here's what you can expect during a root canal treatment at YouDent Clinic:

1. Evaluation: Before proceeding with the root canal, our dentist will conduct a thorough examination, which may include X-rays, to assess the extent of the damage and determine if root canal treatment is the best option for you.

2. Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the affected tooth and surrounding area. In some cases, sedation options may be available for patients who experience anxiety or require additional relaxation.

3. Accessing the Tooth: Once the area is numb, our dentist will create a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp chamber and root canals.

4. Cleaning and Shaping: Using specialized instruments, our dentist will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth and thoroughly clean and disinfect the pulp chamber and root canals.

5. Filling and Sealing: Once the tooth has been cleaned and shaped, it will be filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to replace the removed pulp. The opening in the tooth will then be sealed to prevent bacteria from re-entering the tooth and causing further infection.

6. Restoration: In most cases, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment will require a dental crown to strengthen and protect it from further damage. Our dental team will discuss the best restoration option for your tooth to ensure long-term durability and functionality.

7. Follow-Up: We'll schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your healing progress and ensure that the tooth is responding well to treatment. In some cases, additional appointments may be needed to complete the restoration process.
