Performing a root canal A root canal is performed to save your tooth so that it continues to be of use to you from day to day. Inside the teeth is a tissue called enamel. The cavity consists of nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue and extends from the crown of the tooth all the way down to the end of the root. A root canal is performed when the cavity swells or becomes infected due to, among other things, deep tooth damage, repeated treatments on the tooth, a leaking filling or crown, or due to a crack in the tooth. Also, tooth trauma can lead to inflammation or infection in the cavity, even if there is nothing visible on the tooth, such as a break or a crack. If a ringworm or infection is not treated, it can cause pain and swelling.

 

How?

A root canal involves removing the swollen or infected cavity from your tooth, disinfecting and widening the root canals, and filling them up with a special root filling material. The treatment is carried out under a microscope. Generally, the root canal treatment is painless or minimal, which is achieved with the help of the latest technology and anesthetics.

Duration

It may take up to 3 visits to complete the root canal, but most can be completed in 1-2 visits. Some treatments are more complicated than others and require more preparation and longer treatment times. New Paragraph
