ADVANCED ENDODONTIC CARE

How Does Root Canal Treatment Save Your Tooth?

Root canal treatment removes infected tissue from inside a tooth. The root canals are then cleaned, disinfected and sealed to control the infection and preserve the natural tooth.

At VV Dental Hospital, we examine the affected tooth before recommending Root Canal Treatment in Anna Nagar. The number of visits and need for a dental crown depend on the infection and remaining tooth structure.

What Signs May Indicate Root Canal Treatment?

Patients considering Root Canal Treatment in Anna Nagar may experience pain, sensitivity, swelling or tooth discolouration. A dental examination is necessary to identify the cause.

Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods needs attention. It may suggest irritation within the tooth.

Gum Swelling

Swelling or a small bump near a tooth requires prompt care. It may be associated with a dental infection.
