Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation of the dental pulp (the innermost part of the tooth). It is often performed to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted due to deep decay, trauma, or abscess formation.
The procedure begins with local anesthesia, followed by isolation of the tooth. The dentist creates an access opening to remove the infected or dead pulp tissue, then cleans, shapes, and disinfects the root canals. The canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and sealed, and the tooth is later restored with a crown or filling to ensure full function and protection.
Our patient retains their natural tooth, free from pain and infection. After healing, the tooth functions normally and can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and follow-up care. The treatment also prevents the spread of infection to surrounding tissues and eliminates the need for extraction a tooth.
Our clinic provides comprehensive dental care, from implants and veneers to crowns and bridges — all handled by experienced dentists in Bali you can trust.
