ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Treatment of this infection requires a long procedure of cleaning the root, reshaping the tooth followed by a filling or crown called root canal treatment or endodontics.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?

You might need multiple appointments with your dentist for a root canal treatment. As cleaning the infected pulp requires a period of healing, before the permanent filling or crown, your teeth is filled in with a temporary filling. In your second appointment, a permanent restoration is made with a filling or crown.

SHOULD I HAVE A FILLING OR CROWN?

When nerves are irrecoverably infected, your tooth dies. And a dead tooth is a lot weaker and more fragile. That’s why it is important to preserve its strength and alignment with a crown. Filling is another option but dental research has shown that crowned teeth last up to six times longer than those with a filling.tt
