Root canal treatment
Back to school with smile
November 20, 2023Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure used to treat dental infections or damage that affect the pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected, it can cause severe pain and discomfort.
The causes of these infections or damage can include:
1.Tooth Decay: The most common cause is untreated tooth decay. When cavities are left untreated, the bacteria can penetrate the pulp, leading to an infection.
2.Broken Fillings: Dental fillings can deteriorate over time. If a filling cracks or falls out, it leaves the tooth vulnerable to bacterial infiltration, potentially leading to an infection.
3.Trauma or Injury: A physical injury to a tooth, such as a crack or fracture, can expose the pulp and make it susceptible to infection.
4.Recurrent Dental Procedures: Multiple dental procedures on the same tooth can weaken it and increase the risk of infection.

“Empire Dental Clinic aims to provide high-quality endodontic care with a success rate of 95%.”
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the interior of the tooth, and then sealing it to prevent further infection. This procedure allows you to retain the natural tooth and eliminates the need for extraction, which is usually the only alternative for such severe
infections or damage.
By combining the use of an endomotor for accurate root canal preparation and laser treatment for canal sterilization, Empire Dental Clinic aims to provide high-quality endodontic care with a success rate of 95%.
