Root Canal Treatment Explained: What to Expect and Why It’s Important

By: Smileway Dental

Introduction:

Root canal treatment is a vital dental procedure aimed at saving infected or damaged teeth. Let’s delve into what this treatment involves and why it’s crucial for maintaining oral health.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment saves severely infected teeth by removing infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection.

Why is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

It’s needed when the tooth’s pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or other factors. Without treatment, the infection can lead to tooth loss and other complications.

What to Expect:

  • Evaluation and X-rays
  • Anesthesia for comfort
  • Cleaning and shaping of root canals
  • Filling and sealing
  • Restoration with a filling or crown

Aftercare:

Follow post-procedure instructions, including avoiding chewing on the treated tooth until fully restored, taking prescribed medications, and practicing good oral hygiene.

Conclusion:

Root canal treatment is a vital procedure for saving infected teeth and preserving oral health. If you experience tooth pain or suspect an infection, seek dental care promptly to avoid complications.

I recently had an appointment at Smileway Dental Clinic to address a persistent dental issue that had been causing me considerable discomfort. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere of the clinic was warm and welcoming, which helped to alleviate some of my anxiety. Dr. Lisa took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the procedure to me, which helped to alleviate my fears. Her calming demeanour and gentle approach immediately put me at ease. The surgery itself was surprisingly painless, thanks to Dr. Lisa's expertise and skillful technique. She was incredibly patient and attentive throughout the entire procedure, constantly checking in to make sure I was comfortable and pain-free. Overall, my experience at Smileway Dental Clinic was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Lisa and her team exceeded my expectations in every way, providing me with top-notch dental care in a compassionate and supportive environment. I highly recommend Smileway Dental Clinic to anyone in need of dental services, especially those who may be anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist.

The response from time of my asking for an appointment (though last minute) was handled well. Staff was ensuring that if I couldn't make the 5pm appointed time then she offered to reschedule. So I did for the next day. Dr Edwin was super nice and gave options to see that my swollen due to infection gum was treated with care. I only visit this clinic because of its professionalism. Cheers guys and keep up the great job ! Thanks.

People with dental phobia like me have an awareness that the fear is totally irrational, but with extensive experience in the field of dentistry, Dr Lisa provides efficient and compassionate patient care. I just had my tooth extraction this morning and it was painless.... Furthermore Dr Lisa are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unnecessary treatment. Thank you so much Dr Lisa 🙏
