Root Canals

What is Root Canal Therapy?

The inner pulp of your tooth contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. If this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks in the tooth, you may experience significant pain and sensitivity. Root canal therapy removes this infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. This preserves the tooth structure and allows it to function normally.

Root Canal at Elite Dental Tours

At Elite Dental Tours, we prioritize your comfort throughout your root canal treatment. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation & X-rays: We will discuss your symptoms and perform a thorough examination with X-rays to diagnose the cause of your tooth pain.

Local Anesthesia: We will administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring a comfortable procedure.

Tooth Access and Pulp Removal: The dentist will create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp and remove it carefully.

Canal Cleaning and Disinfection: The inside of the tooth (canals) will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria.

Canal Filling and Sealing: The canals will be filled with a special material to prevent further infection.

Crown Placement (Optional): In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to strengthen the tooth and restore its full functionality.

Recovery and Follow-up: We will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care and schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the healing process.
