A root canal is a dental procedure performed to save a tooth with severely infected or damaged pulp. The pulp is the soft tissue located at the tooth’s center, consisting of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp gets infected/injured, it can cause intense pain and lead to an abscess if left untreated.
During a root canal procedure, the dentist/endodontist (a specialist in treating the inner part of the tooth) removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth. The process involves making a small access hole in the tooth and using specialized tools to clean the pulp chamber and root canals. After thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the canals, they are filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha to seal them and prevent recontamination
Modern root canal technology and anesthesia can considerably reduce the pain and discomfort involved. Considering the results and relief that the treatment provides, a root canal is certainly better than getting your teeth extracted.
Our team of dentists ensures that you are completely comfortable with the process. They start by educating you about the treatment and its possible consequences. They also ensure your convenience and comfort before starting the procedure. Call us to schedule an appointment today.
Most people believe an extraction is a good option over a root canal. But removing the tooth could also affect the adjacent teeth, thus resulting in more cost and more dental issues. The tooth can be saved and restored to its full function by performing a root canal. Root canal therapy can last a lifetime, and only on certain occasions, the teeth might have to be re-treated if new infections are affecting the teeth.
These are some of the signs that can possibly lead to root canal therapy: Blister on the gums, Sensitivity issues, Swelling or tenderness, Acute toothache.
A root canal is a common dental procedure that addresses symptoms of infected and abscessed teeth, preventing tooth loss, preventing infection spread, enhancing appearance, preventing jawbone degeneration, and being relatively painless. It involves removing the infected pulp and sealing the cavity with a polymer material or crown, restoring the natural tooth's appearance and enhancing the smile. It also prevents jawbone degeneration and allows patients to recover within a few days
A root canal requires more than one appointment. Initially, an X-ray is performed to diagnose where the issue is. This is followed by giving local anesthesia to the affected tooth. The next step involves pulpectomy, where the damaged pulp, nerve tissue, bacteria, and decay are removed. The space created is then cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed using a permanent filling or a temporary crown. A second appointment will be required to replace the temporary crown with a permanent crown.
Cavities are a type of dental disease that can affect the tooth enamel and eventually decay the tooth to a point in which the nerve is exposed. The cavities are caused by bacteria in the mouth, creating acid that eats away at the tooth enamel. The most common symptoms of cavities include discoloration of teeth, pain and sensitivity when eating, tooth loss, bad breath, and minor gum bleeding.
