What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the root canal of a tooth. It involves removing the damaged or infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner part of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.

Why would I need a root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged. This can be due to severe decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, chips, or trauma to the tooth.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Despite common misconceptions, root canal treatment is generally not painful, especially when performed by an experienced endodontist like Dr. Sameer Aljanedi. The procedure is usually carried out under local anesthesia, making it relatively pain-free. Most patients report that it feels similar to having a filling placed.

How experienced is Dr. Sameer Aljanedi in performing root canals?

Dr. Sameer Aljanedi is highly experienced in performing root canal treatments, having successfully completed thousands of such procedures. His expertise and precision in this area are well-recognized, ensuring high-quality and comfortable care for patients.

What can I expect during a root canal procedure?

During a root canal procedure, Dr. Aljanedi will first numb the area around the affected tooth. He will then create an opening in the top of the tooth to access the infected pulp, which he will carefully remove. The space is then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected before being filled and sealed. In most cases, a crown will be placed on the tooth for protection and to restore its function.

How long does a root canal procedure take?

A typical root canal procedure can take one to two visits, each lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. The length of the procedure depends on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of the infection.

What is the success rate of root canal treatments?

Root canal treatments have a very high success rate, especially when performed by skilled endodontists like Dr. Sameer Aljanedi. Most treated teeth last as long as natural teeth when properly cared for.

How should I care for my tooth after a root canal?

After a root canal, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly. Avoid chewing on hard foods with the treated tooth until it is fully restored. Regular dental check-ups are also essential to monitor the treated tooth and maintain overall oral health.
