Endodontics
A department of dentistry involving diagnosis, prevention
and treatment of dental pulp (the nerves and blood vessels
inside the tooth) Nothing is as good as a natural tooth!
And sometimes your natural tooth may need root canal (endodontic)
treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your mouth.
Root canal treatment(RCT) is also known as endodontic therapy.
A root canal is a dental procedure in which a diseased or
injured tooth is repaired by removing the damaged portion
of the tooth, pulpal tissue (or nerve). In addition to nerve
fibers, the pulpal tissue also contains arteries, veins, lymph
vessels, and connective tissue and then sealing up the tooth
to protect it from further injury. Root canals are often the
most feared procedure by regular visitors to the dentist's
office .
Under the skillful guidance of our specialized team of dentists
root canal treatment is a painless and a fairly uncomplicated
procedure unlike what most people fear.
Root
Canal Treatments
When the cavity extends beyond the
Enamel and Dentin and progresses to the Pulp, it gives rise
to severe pain. In such a situation, before a filling can
be done the infection has to be removed from the canals of
the tooth. This treatment is called a Root Canal Treatment.
The tooth is made numb so that there is no pain and the canals
are cleaned out.
Root Canal Treatment is basically a Blind procedure because
we can not visually see where we atre working. Although despite
this the success rates for Root Canal Treatment are very good.
