Q.Why and
when are root canal treatments required?
A.Decay of the teeth (cavities) if left
untreated, generally progress and gradually
destroy a significant portion of the tooth
before reaching the 'pulp' of the tooth. The
pulp of the tooth is a thin soft tissue
present in the tooth canals consisting of
mainly nerves and blood vessels.
Once this infection reaches the pulp it
gives rise to a common 'dental pain'. At
this stage the tooth can only be saved by
performing a root canal treatment.
Q.What is a root canal treatment?
A.In simple terms, root canal treatment is
the removal of the infected soft tissue
within the tooth and its replacement by an
artificial inert 'filling' material. This
procedure basically saves the tooth and
eliminates dental pain.
Q.Why Root Canal treatments by us?
A.Absolutely painless and extremely
comfortable.
Generally completed in a single sitting of
30 minutes. If required, upto 6 root canals
can be performed in a single sitting.
So if you are not sure whether you require
root canal treatments or if you have been
avoiding them due to fear, you know exactly
where to head. |
