Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure designed to save a damaged or infected tooth. At Afya Mile Dental, our experienced dentists perform root canal treatments with precision and care, aiming to relieve pain, save natural teeth, and restore oral health.
Why You Might Need a Root Canal
From First Treatment Day to the Last
Comprehensive dental examination and X-rays to diagnose the extent of the infection and plan the treatment.
Administration of local anaesthesia to numb the affected tooth and the surrounding area, ensuring the patient is pain-free during the procedure.
The dentist creates a small opening in the tooth's crown to access the infected pulp chamber and root canals.
Removal of the infected pulp, cleaning, shaping, and disinfection of the root canals to eliminate bacteria and debris.
The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent recontamination.
A dental crown or filling is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and functionality.
Periodic check-ups to ensure proper healing and functionality of the treated tooth.
