Endodontic treatment of a vital tooth, commonly known as root canal therapy, is a minimally invasive dental procedure performed to treat infected, inflamed, or damaged dental pulp while preserving the tooth's vitality.
This procedure is essential for preventing tooth loss, pain, and further infection, ensuring long-term oral health. During the root canal procedure, a dentist or endodontist carefully removes the inflamed pulp, disinfects the root canal system, and seals it with biocompatible material to prevent bacterial reinfection. Modern endodontic treatment techniques, including rotary endodontics and digital imaging, make the process painless and highly effective.
Treating a vital tooth with endodontic therapy helps maintain natural tooth function, eliminates toothache, and prevents the need for tooth extraction or dental implants. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene after the procedure ensure long-term success and strong, healthy teeth.
