Endodontics and Root canal treatment

Endodontics and Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation of the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. During treatment, our dentist removes the infected tissue, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and fills them with a special material to prevent future infection, helping to save the tooth from extraction.

At FLOSS Dental Clinic, we use advanced endomotor technology with an apex locator for precise, gentle root canal treatments. This technology enables us to accurately locate the root tip and measure the canal length, reducing treatment time and enhancing outcomes.

For your comfort, root canal procedures at FLOSS Dental Clinic are performed under local anesthesia.

FAQ

What is Dental Pulp?

The dental pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth containing blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. It can become inflamed or infected due to decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack in the tooth, often leading to pain. Root canal therapy alleviates this pain and protects surrounding bone from damage caused by infection or abscess.
