Pre Treatment Procedure
- Diagnosis and Consultation: At first, the dentist will do a diagnosis of the affected tooth to understand the condition and will guide you about the treatment procedure.
- Local Anaesthesia: Once diagnosis is done, treatment is started numb in which anaesthesia is given to the area initially.
- Cleaning and Shaping: Once the affected area is numbed, a small opening is made in the crown to treat the infected area carefully to eliminate all traces of bacteria and prevent infection in future.
- Canal Filling: The cleaned canals are then filled with a biocompatible material. It is done to prevent bacteria from entering again.
- Final Restoration: After the root canal treatment is done, a crown is placed over the tooth to protect it. This step fully restores both the natural look and the everyday function of your tooth.
