Root Canals In Simple Words
01.
What does root canal treatment involve?
Devitalisation, also known as Root Canal, basically consists of the removal of the vital part of the tooth known as the pulp (or dental nerve), inflamed tissue to be removed along the entire length of the roots (1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the tooth being treated).
02.
What are the stages involved in a root canal procedure?
The procedure is usually performed in several stages. Before proceeding to the actual devitalisation, anaesthesia is applied, after which the surgical field is isolated.
Next, the pulp is removed, the area is disinfected, the post is fixed, the tooth is filled with specific materials such as root canal cement and finally the tooth is reconstructed.
If a devitalisation of a premolar or molar has been performed, the application of a capsule is usually recommended, which usually guarantees greater resistance and durability.
03.
How is the depth of tooth decay assessed?
Many times, in order to assess the depth of caries, the tooth is first cleaned and filled with a temporary, softer material, and then possibly permanently filled or devitalised, in the event that the first solution has not solved the problem and vital parts of the tooth have been affected.
Is the Root Canal Treatment Painful?
No, root canals are not painful
There are many who are afraid of the dentist and, even more so, of invisible treatments that involve incisions or interventions, that are more profound. Let us therefore clarify one thing.
The only pain experienced, if it can be called that, is at the time of anaesthesia (where much depends on the hand of the dentist). During the treatment one may experience at most a soreness in the treated area.
Post-devititalisation pain, on the other hand, may depend on the type of tooth treated, i.e. whether a single-rooted (e.g. an incisor, a very rare case) or multi-rooted devitalisation was performed.
Post-operative pain, which, although depending on each patient, is in any case more about discomfort or a few sporadic impulses than anything else and it can easily be managed with pain-relieving drugs.
The experience I had at this office was above and beyond excelent, making this my permanent resource for all my dental needs. I have had my share of root canals and never had one as precise and (dare I say pleasant) as the one I received today.

I had a tooth emergency and they were the only place who could see me the same day. They’re professional, fun and helped calm any nerves I had during my root canal. Is it weird to say I enjoyed my appointment? At the dentist? 🤪. I’ll be switching to this practice after the experience I had here

Just finished having a root canal and crown done at this office today and everyone there is so good at what they do, and so kind... I didn't feel a single thing throughout the whole procedure. They were kind and gentle with me throughout my visit.
