Why Are Root Canals Necessary?
Your tooth is composed of different layers. You’re familiar with the hard outer layer that forms the outer surface of the tooth, but there’s an inner, pulpy layer as well which consists of blood vessels and nerves. When this deep, pulpy layer becomes badly infected with decay, it can affect the structural integrity of the tooth. Left untreated, the tooth can eventually fall out or break off, causing significant pain and requiring surgery to remove it. A root canal removes the pulpy interior to relieve pain and help preserve the tooth.
Nothing is as good as a natural tooth! And sometimes your natural tooth may need endodontic (root canal) treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your mouth. Most patients report that having endodontic (root canal) treatment today is as unremarkable as having a cavity filled. Expert endodontics services are carried out in World Dental Specialities
Here’s what you can expect on a day of root canal treatment.
Anesthetising the tooth with local anaesthesia to make the RCT painless.
Locating the canal for treatment using apex locators and loupes. Here we use J Morita Root ZX II apex locator which is the most accurate and has the ability to work in wet canals too as the results are not affected by the presence or absence of blood discharges or electrolytes.
