When tooth decay reaches deep and damages the nerve inside the root, root canal treatment (root canal) is necessary. Failure to treat in a timely manner can cause abscess formation, severe pain, and even the spread of infection. In root canal treatment, infected tissue is removed from the root canal and the canals are completely disinfected and filled.
At Javier Dental, a rotary system, apex finder, and modern instruments are used to perform the treatment in the shortest time and with the greatest precision. These devices reduce the possibility of error and ensure complete cleaning of the canals. After root canal treatment is completed, the tooth is restored with composite or amalgam materials for greater strength.
In cases where the tooth has been weakened after root canal treatment, a dental crown is recommended to increase its strength and life. Successful root canal treatment saves the tooth, prevents extraction, and maintains the beauty of the smile in the long term.
