• Toothache is one of the most common problems
  faced by every individual at some point in life.
  A Root Canal Treatment helps the patients
  preserve their natural teeth, gums, and tissue
  for a lifetime. Although the treatment is
  standard and effective for all age groups, many
  people fear that root canal treatment will bring
  pain and discomfort to their oral health. One
  reason for this growing misconception is the lack
  of knowledge. Therefore, the Dentist in Camp has
  come up with all the necessary information
  related to root canal surgery.
• What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?
• Your doctor will first examine your dental health
  to determine whether root canal treatment is a
  good option for your teeth. If yes, he will
  access the pulp beneath the teeth by drilling an
  access hole. Most dental experts use anaesthesia
  for this procedure so that the patient feels no
  pain throughout the process.

• Once the dentist gets access to the pulp, he will
  remove the damaged and contaminated tissues.
  After cleansing it thoroughly, the entire chamber
  and canals are filled with a special filling to
  prevent future infection or damage. The access
  hole is then sealed to complete the procedure.
  Doctors recommend placing a permanent crown on
  top of the treated tooth to protect it from
  future damage and decay.
