Types of Root Canal Treatment
There are several types of root canal treatment available depending on your individual needs. The most common types of root canal treatments include:
– Incisor/canine (single canal): During a root canal treatment on an incisor or canine tooth, we will carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from the single root canal and clean and seal it with a permanent filling material.
– Molars (multiple canals): During a root canal treatment on a molar tooth, we will carefully locate and clean each root canal to remove any infected or damaged pulp. This can require advanced techniques to ensure that all canals are thoroughly cleaned and sealed.
– Premolars (min 2 canals): During a root canal treatment on a premolar tooth, we will carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from each root canal. Then, we will clean and shape the canals and fill them with a permanent filling material to prevent further infection.
The type of root canal treatment recommended we recommend you will depend on the extent of the damage or infection in the tooth and the overall condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues.
