Welcome To Apollo Spectra Dental Care Hospital
A root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is badly damaged or infected, offering an alternative to extraction. When the inner pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscesses if untreated. During a root canal, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then fills and seals it to prevent further infection. This allows the natural tooth to be preserved, maintaining its function and appearance.Choosing a root canal over extraction has several benefits, including preserving the natural tooth structure and preventing shifting of adjacent teeth, which can occur after extraction
Additionally, the procedure helps avoid the need for replacements like dental implants or bridges, which can be more invasive and costly. Root canals have a high success rate and are a relatively painless way to restore a tooth to full health, providing long-lasting results when paired with proper dental care and follow-up.
