Root Canal Treatment in Macau

Root canal surgery can be complex, and the procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Examination of the tooth
   Prior to the surgery, the dentist will conduct a detailed examination of the tooth.
2. Local anesthesia
   Since the surgery involves accessing the dental pulp, local anesthesia will be administered to alleviate any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
3. Removal of dental pulp
   The dentist will first open the pulp chamber and then enlarge the root canal. They will remove the infected or necrotic tissue and thoroughly disinfect the area using an irrigating solution.
4. Filling the root canal
   The dentist will use dental filling materials to seal the root canal, preventing further invasion of decay-causing bacteria. This step completes the surgery.
5. Wearing a dental crown (optional)
   After the surgery, the teeth may be fragile. Wearing a dental appliance, such as a mouthguard or retainer, can help prevent tooth fracture and further reduce the risk of reinfection.
