Root canal treatment

 Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth and sealing it to prevent further infection. It is often the only way to save a tooth that has been severely damaged by decay, injury, or disease.

At Dr. Harish Dental, our team of experienced dentists is committed to providing the highest quality root canal treatment to our patients. We use the latest techniques and technology to ensure that the procedure is as painless and comfortable as possible.

The root canal treatment process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Examination and diagnosis: Our dentists will examine your teeth and gums to determine the extent of the damage and determine if root canal treatment is necessary.

  2. Numbing: Local anesthesia is administered to the affected tooth and surrounding area to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

  3. Removal of the infected pulp: Our dentists will create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp and carefully remove it.

  4. Cleaning and shaping: Once the infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and shaped to prepare it for filling.

  5. Filling and sealing: The tooth is filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha and sealed with a temporary filling.

  6. Crown placement: In some cases, a crown may be placed over the tooth to provide additional protection and restore its appearance.

After the root canal treatment is complete, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent further decay and infection. Our dentists will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your tooth and schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure that the treatment was successful.

At Dr. Harish Dental, we are dedicated to providing our patients with personalized and compassionate care. If you think you may need root canal treatment, don't hesitate to contact us to schedule an appointment.

They are used when a tooth has moderate to mild decay or when there is not enough tooth structure for a filling. The inlay is applied directly to the tooth surface provided that there is no damage to the tooth cusps. However, your dentist may use an onlay to cover the entire surface of the tooth when the cusp or a more significant portion of the tooth is damaged. In the past, inlays and onlays were made of gold. Nowadays, they are usually made in a dental laboratory out of a composite of porc...
