Dental Clinics in Kazhakootam

     Root Canal treatment by Madhav's Modern Dental Clinic

Local anaesthesia is always given prior to treatment so that you will be completely comfortable. An opening is then made through the crown of the tooth into the pulp chamber. The pulp is then removed carefully from both the pulp chamber and root canal(s). The root canal(s) is cleaned, enlarged and shaped to a form that can be filled. Medication may be put in the pulp chamber and root canal(s) to help eliminate the bacteria. A temporary filling will be placed in the crown opening to prevent saliva from getting into the chamber and root canals. You might also be given antibiotics if infection is present and has spread beyond the end of the roots(s). 

The temporary filling is removed. The root canal(s) are then filled and permanently sealed with a natural, biocompatible material, usually gutta-percha. A crown made of porcelain is placed over the tooth to restore structure, function and appearance.A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
