If a tooth is damaged or infected inside, a dentist may discuss root canal treatment as one way to treat it and retain the natural tooth. At Care Speciality Dental Clinic, root canal consultations are available with visiting endodontist Dr. Arun V. V. (MDS).
When might root canal treatment be discussed?
A dentist may recommend an assessment when decay, injury or infection affects the inner part of a tooth. Symptoms and their causes vary, so an examination is needed before deciding which treatment is appropriate.
What to expect at a consultation
The dentist will ask about your symptoms, examine the tooth and explain the findings and options. The number of visits and any restoration needed afterward depend on the tooth and individual treatment plan. You can ask questions about comfort, timing and follow-up before proceeding.
