About the treatment
This critical step follows the cleaning and shaping of the canal, using specialized materials to secure the tooth's health and longevity.
Why Fill and Seal Root Canals?
Filling and sealing are essential to close off the root canal, preventing bacteria from re-entering and causing new infections. This process also reinforces the tooth, ensuring its strength and durability.
What Happens During the Process?
- Filling: The dentist fills the cleaned canal with a material called gutta-percha, often combined with a sealer, to effectively close off the canal.
- Sealing: The canal is then sealed, shaped to fit precisely and ensure a tight closure.
- Restoration: After the canal is filled and sealed, the tooth is typically restored with a crown or filling to provide additional protection.
Benefits:
- Prevents Re-infection: Proper filling and sealing block bacteria from entering the canal again.
- Strengthens the Tooth: The sealed canal helps maintain the tooth's structural integrity.
- Ensures Longevity: A well-filled and sealed root canal can last a lifetime with appropriate care.
Filling and sealing your root canal is crucial for the success of the treatment. By thoroughly closing the canal, we help safeguard your tooth from future issues and ensure its long-term health and functionality.
