An opening is made in the crown. The infected pulp is cleaned out using files. The canals are disinfected and filled with a rubber-like material (gutta-percha). The tooth is sealed and usually covered with a crown for strength.
Before Root Canal Treatment: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
The procedure is painless with modern anesthesia. The tooth may be sensitive for a few days. Once crowned, it functions like a normal tooth.
After Root Canal Treatment: 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Root Canal Treatment carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
