The Root Canal Treatment Process
During root canal treatment, your dentist carefully removes the affected tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future issues. The result is lasting relief and a strong, healthy smile, allowing you to return to eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.

Root Canal Aftercare
After a root canal, proper aftercare is essential to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting results. Mild tenderness is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief as recommended by your dentist. Be gentle with the treated tooth and avoid chewing hard foods until your permanent restoration is in place. Maintain good oral hygiene and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure a smooth recovery.
