Root canal treatment
Root canal treatments a very common treatment. With the use of recent advances in dentistry is no longer painful and unpredictable. Placement of crown/onlay is recommended after root canal therapy preventing the tooth from splitting.
Root canal therapy has got a high success rate of up to 90 %.
The treatment itself involves opening the top of the infected tooth and removing the soft, infected tissue from inside. The canals of the tooth are then thoroughly cleaned and filled. A crown or filling is then used to seal the top of the tooth, so after a day or so, your mouth will look and feel normal again.
In some cases, where a root canal treatment is particularly complex, you may need more than one appointment. If this is the case, the tooth is filled with a medicated material to reduce the risk of further infection, with a temporary filling placed over the top so you can eat, drink and smile normally until the next step of your treatment.
