A general and cosmetic dentist based in Canada, Ghasaq Al-Bakkal, DMD, owns and operates Belmont Dental Clinic in London, Ontario. In her leadership role with the practice, Ghasaq Al-Bakkal regularly performs procedures such as root canal therapy, a procedure designed to relieve pain and ensure healthy teeth and gums.
When the blood vessels and nerves in the interior of the tooth, known as the “pulp,” become infected, pain and inflammation can occur. Treatment for infected pulp typically involves root canal therapy, during which the dentist removes the infected pulp and protects surrounding structures from infection.
During the root canal procedure, the dentist begins by numbing the tooth and creating an opening through the crown of the tooth. The dentist then removes the pulp from the tooth and cleans the interior of the tooth, sometimes applying an antibacterial agent to prevent further infection. The tooth is then filled with a rubber-like material, which seals the tooth and allows the patient to retain full function of their natural tooth.
