Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a highly effective procedure used to save teeth that are badly decayed or infected. It involves removing the damaged or infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection.

At Medixir Clinic, root canal treatments are performed using advanced digital imaging, rotary instruments, and microscopes to ensure maximum precision, comfort, and long-term success. Our goal is to preserve your natural teeth while relieving pain and restoring functionality.

You may need a root canal if you experience prolonged toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling of the gums, or darkening of the tooth. These symptoms often indicate that the pulp has become infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma.

The procedure typically begins with local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. An access opening is made in the crown of the tooth, and the infected pulp is carefully removed. The canals are then shaped, disinfected, and filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha.

In most cases, a crown is placed after root canal therapy to restore the strength and appearance of the tooth. This helps protect the treated tooth from further damage and allows normal chewing function to resume.

Root canal treatment is often completed in a single visit, though complex cases may require two or more appointments. Thanks to modern techniques and equipment, the procedure is efficient and comfortable with minimal downtime.

Root canals have a high success rate and are considered one of the best options to save a natural tooth. Preserving your own tooth helps maintain your natural bite, prevents jawbone loss, and eliminates the need for bridges or implants.

After the procedure, it’s important to follow proper oral hygiene, avoid biting on hard objects, and return for the final crown placement if not done immediately. Mild soreness may occur for a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

At Medixir Clinic, we are committed to making your root canal experience stress-free. Our caring team ensures a calm environment, precise treatment, and full guidance throughout the process to restore your smile and relieve your pain.
