Root Canal Treatment in Abuja
Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity can sometimes indicate a problem affecting the pulp inside a tooth. Root canal treatment may be recommended when this tissue becomes inflamed or infected and the tooth can be preserved.
At DentistNearMeNG, a dental assessment can help determine the cause of your symptoms and the appropriate treatment.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment involves accessing the inside of the tooth, removing diseased or infected pulp tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canal system, and sealing it.
Depending on the condition of the tooth, a further restoration may be needed to protect it and restore function.
What Symptoms May Require Assessment?
Possible symptoms include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when chewing, swelling or changes in the colour of a tooth. Some teeth with pulp disease may have few or no obvious symptoms.
These symptoms can have other causes, so an examination is necessary.
What Happens During the Procedure?
The dentist assesses the tooth and may recommend dental imaging. If root canal treatment is appropriate, the procedure is planned according to the tooth’s anatomy and condition.
Follow-up appointments or additional restoration may be required.
