Root Canal Treatment
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Root canal is a dental procedure which helps in removing the entire internal parts, mainly pulp chamber of the tooth. It also involves the filling of the prepared empty cavity with a suitable bio-compatible material. This procedure is done and advised only when the tooth can not compensate restoring material in a small cavity on the surface. The procedure involves the removal of the nervous elements of the tooth which have been infected or decayed already due to microbial action or any physical pressures. The procedure that involves the root canal is also called as root canal treatment.

DENTAL BONDING
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure in which a tooth-colored composite resin material is applied to your teeth to improve your smile. Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained or have spaces between them.
Some indications of the need for root canal treatment may be:
* Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting
* Sensitivity to hot and cold foods
* Severe decay or an injury that creates an abscess (infection) in the bone
TREATMENT
Removal of the infected or irritated nerve tissue that lies within the root of the tooth. It is this infected pulp tissue that causes an eventual abscess.
Root canal is to obtain access to the nerve. This is accomplished by establishing a small access opening in the top of the tooth with the use of local anesthetics, the entire procedure can be totally painless.
Treatment can be completed in a single seating or sealing the cavity with a soothing medicine with a temporary filling material for a week until the next seating is called for the completion of the procedure.
The length of the root canal is determined and the infected pulp is removed.
Canal where the nerve is located will be reshaped and prepared to accept a special root canal filling material. The number of visits necessary to complete your root canal will depend upon several factors including the number of nerves in the tooth, the infected state of the nerve, and the complexity of the procedure.
The final stage includes the filling of the canal with some plastic material called Gutta Percha which are bio-compatible, and after the canal is filled, a suitable and aesthetic regular cement filling is done over it, which can be accompanied with crown placement sometimes.
The tooth will then possibly need a post and core and a crown in order to re-establish normal form and function. This decision will be based upon several additional factors.
