When your teeth experience severe decay or trauma, the delicate pulp tissue within the root canals becomes damaged or infected. This can lead to pain, inflammation, and even tooth loss if left untreated. Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a specialized dental procedure that aims to eliminate the infected pulp, restore the tooth’s health, and preserve its function
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected pulp tissue from the root canals of a tooth, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and filling them with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. It is typically recommended for teeth that exhibit severe toothache or sensitivity, lingering pain after chewing or drinking, visible cracks or chips on the tooth, gum swelling or tenderness around the affected tooth, darkening or discoloration of the tooth, or persistent bad breath. Root canal treatment offers several benefits, including the preservation of natural teeth, elimination of pain and discomfort, prevention of further complications, and improved oral health.
Single-Visit Root Canal Treatment: A Revolutionary Approach
Single-visit root canal treatment is an innovative approach that streamlines the procedure into a single appointment, reducing the need for multiple visits and minimizing patient discomfort. This advanced method utilizes cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to obtain a detailed three-dimensional view of the root canal system, allowing the dentist to precisely identify the number of root canals, their precise location, and their complex anatomy. Equipped with this comprehensive visualization, the dentist can effectively access the cavity, thoroughly decontaminate and shape the canals, and then fill them with a medicated filling material, all in a single visit. Single-visit root canal treatment offers several advantages over traditional multi-visit procedures, including reduced number of appointments, enhanced predictability and success rate, and increased patient acceptance

Frequently Asked Questions
You could require a root canal if you have a severe toothache, persistent sensitivity to heat or cold, gum swelling and discomfort, or a recurrent gum infection. A dental professional can determine via X-rays and an examination whether a root canal is required.
Local anaesthesia is used to ensure you won’t experience any discomfort during root canal therapy. When undergoing modern treatments under anaesthetic, patients typically report relatively little discomfort and often get relief from the pain they were feeling before the surgery.
The complex nature of the tooth’s structure and the severity of the infection determine how long a root canal takes. A root canal procedure can take one to two hours on average. After evaluating your particular condition, your dentist will tell you a more accurate estimate.
The cost of a root canal can vary depending on the tooth’s location, and the complexity of the case.
In many cases, a dental crown is recommended after a root canal to provide additional strength and protection to the treated tooth. The crown helps prevent fractures and restores the tooth’s functionality.
