Root Canal Treatment: Save Your Tooth and Relieve Pain

Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. At Maka Dental Clinic, we understand the discomfort and anxiety that can accompany dental issues, and our experienced team is here to provide gentle, expert care to relieve your pain and restore your tooth’s health.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage to the pulp—the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma, it can lead to intense pain and, if left untreated, may result in the loss of the tooth. Root canal treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed? Root canal treatment may be necessary if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Severe Toothache: Persistent pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure, can indicate that the pulp is infected or inflamed.
• Sensitivity: Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the stimulus is removed, can be a sign of pulp damage.
• Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling around the affected tooth or in the surrounding gums may occur when an infection is present.
• Discoloration: A tooth that becomes darkened or discolored may have a damaged pulp.
• Abscess: An abscess, or pus-filled pocket, can form at the tip of the tooth root, leading to swelling, pain, and a bad taste in your mouth.

Our Approach to Root Canal Treatment at Maka Dental Clinic
At Maka Dental Clinic, we prioritize patient comfort and use the latest techniques to make root canal treatment as quick and painless as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

• Thorough Examination and Diagnosis: We start with a detailed examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection and determine the best course of action.
• Pain Management: Before beginning the procedure, we’ll administer local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free throughout the treatment.
• Precise Treatment: During the root canal, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the root canals, and fill them with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed to prevent future infection.
• Restoration: After the root canal, we may recommend placing a crown on the tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance. This step is crucial for protecting the treated tooth and ensuring long-term success.
• Post-Treatment Care: We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up visit to ensure proper healing and discuss any further restorative options if needed.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Pain Relief: Root canal treatment eliminates the source of infection and inflammation, providing immediate relief from pain and discomfort.
• Tooth Preservation: By removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth, root canal treatment can save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.
• Restored Function: After a root canal, your tooth will be restored to full function, allowing you to chew and speak without discomfort.
