Root Canal Treatment Steps

1. Diagnosis and Preparation

   • A dentist examines the tooth using X-rays to determine the extent of the damage.

   • The area is numbed with local anesthesia.

2. Accessing the Tooth

   • A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp.

3. Cleaning and Shaping the Canals

   • The infected pulp is removed.

   • The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped for filling.

4. Filling the Canals

   • The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material, usually gutta-percha, to prevent reinfection.

5. Sealing and Restoration

   • The tooth is sealed, and a temporary or permanent filling is placed.

   • A crown may be added later for full restoration.

Pre-Treatment Precautions

• Inform the Dentist

  • Share any medical conditions or medications you're taking.

• Maintain Oral Hygiene

  • Brush and floss to reduce bacteria around the affected tooth.

• Avoid Hard Foods

  • Prevent further damage to the affected tooth before treatment.

• Eat Before the Procedure

  • Numbness from the anesthesia may delay eating post-procedure.

Post-Treatment Precautions

1. Pain Management

   • Take prescribed pain relievers or over-the-counter medication as directed.

2. Avoid Hard and Chewy Foods

   • Protect the treated tooth until the permanent crown is placed.

3. Maintain Oral Hygiene

   • Brush gently around the treated area and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash.

4. Follow-Up Appointments

   • Attend scheduled check-ups to monitor healing and finalize restoration.

5. Report Issues

   • Notify the dentist if you experience prolonged pain, swelling, or discomfort.
