ROOT CANAL TREATMENTS
When the inner pulp of a tooth (which holds nerves and blood vessels) gets infected or inflamed due to extensive decay, frequent dental work, or a fracture, it can lead to intense pain and increase the likelihood of extraction. At All Smiles, our expert Root Canal Treatment (RCT) aims to alleviate pain and protect your natural tooth, maintaining the function and appearance of your smile.
What constitutes a Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?
Root Canal Treatment is an endodontic process aimed at thoroughly cleaning and sterilising the interior of a tooth.
Elimination of Infection: The affected or injured pulp is precisely extracted from the pulp chamber and root canals.
Cleaning and Shaping: The tooth's interior is meticulously cleaned, sanitised, and contoured.
Sealing: The canals are subsequently filled with a biocompatible substance (commonly gutta-percha) and sealed to avert future infection.
Restoration: Typically, the tooth is protected with a durable filling or a crown to restore its strength, appearance, and function.
