Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that replaces a tooth’s damaged or infected pulp with a filling.
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that replaces a tooth’s damaged or infected pulp with a filling. The pulp is the tooth’s lifeline – its vessels, tissue fibres and nerves in the central hollow of the tooth keep it alive. The procedure to replace this damaged or infected pulp is also known as endodontic treatment.
Success rates for endodontic treatment are generally good. About 90 to 95 per cent of people who undergo root canal treatment can expect a functional tooth after the treatment. The treated tooth should last a very long time, provided that you maintain good oral hygiene and generally look after your teeth. Of course, no therapy or replacement will last as well as a healthy tooth.
Dr Bianca has acquired MSc from the prestigious Kings College of London in root canal therapy, which painlessly would save your tooth that had pulp damage, from having infection or being extracted.
