About Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)
Root canal treatment saves a severely infected, inflamed, or abscessed tooth that would otherwise require extraction. Using modern rotary nickel-titanium instruments and apex locators, treatment is gentle and highly successful. ### Procedure Steps: 1. **Profound Local Anesthesia:** Complete numbing ensures zero pain throughout. 2. **Infection Removal:** Cleaning and disinfecting microscopic root canals. 3. **Biocompatible Filling:** Hermetically sealing the canal spaces with gutta-percha. 4. **Core Build-up & Crown:** Reinforcing the tooth structure with a ceramic crown for long-term chewing strength.
