Root Canal Treatment for 2 Roots

Root canal treatment for a two-rooted tooth is performed when infection, deep decay, or trauma has affected the pulp inside the roots. This procedure eliminates bacteria, relieves pain, and preserves the natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction. Molars and premolars often have two roots, requiring thorough cleaning and sealing to ensure long-term success.

Procedure Overview

• ✔ Examination & X-Ray: The dentist assesses the affected tooth and takes an X-ray to evaluate the infection and root structure.
• ✔ Anaesthesia & Isolation: Local anaesthesia ensures a pain-free experience, and the tooth is isolated to prevent contamination.
• ✔ Pulp Removal & Cleaning: The infected pulp from both roots is removed, and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
• ✔ Filling & Sealing: The canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
• ✔ Final Restoration: A permanent filling or crown is placed to restore function and protect the tooth from fractures.
