What is root canal?
Endodontists perform root canals. The term root canal comes from cleaning of the canals inside the tooth’s root. Tooth damage is mainly caused by cavities due to plaque accumulation, cracked or broken teeth due to injury or trauma, gum diseases and repeated dental treatment to a particular tooth. All these can lead to pulp inflammation, infection and damage the pulp forever.
Root canal treatment is essential to treat tooth decay as the infection can lead to abscessed or pus that can reach beyond the enamel and dentin and finally reach the nerve structure of the tooth which is called pulp. At this stage, the inflammation caused by the decay becomes irreversible, leading to swelling and pain that needs quick action. It is only with help of a root canal therapy that the damaged or dead pulp is removed, the canal is cleaned and the tooth is saved.
Why root canal treatment is important?
The aim of this treatment is to remove all the infection from the root canal of the tooth. This root is cleaned and filled to prevent further infection and pain. It repairs and saves a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it which is a long and much painful process and might also affect neighboring teeth.
If the root canal treatment is not carried out at the right time, it might become impossible to save the tooth and it will need extraction. It not only saves the infected tooth but also gives it a natural appearance with help of a crown that is made to fit your mouth and match the existing teeth.
Why root canal treatment is the best option:
- It is an effective and painless treatment that helps to save a tooth and its roots
- It restores chewing abilities and normal looks by placing a crown over the treated tooth to keep it intact
- It helps to balance the biting force of the tooth, easing the strain on neighboring teeth
- It helps to maintain natural tooth appearance with a crown that is made to look just like your existing teeth
- It improves your overall looks and results in better smile
The root canal treatment process
The root canal treatment process consists of a number of steps that take place over several visits, depending on the condition of the teeth and the patients’ need:
- The dentist will examine your tooth thoroughly, access the decay and take x-ray
- One the second visit, local anesthesia is administered to the affected area before proceeding to numb it for avoiding pain
- An opening will be made through the front of the tooth to remove the disease pulp that is causing the infection
- The pulp chamber and the root canals will be thoroughly cleaned and shaped for filling and filled with a medicated material
- A temporary filling is placed into the tooth to protect the it while the dentist will take impression for a permanent crown to fit over it
- You will need a final visit to the doctor when the temporary filling is taken out and the dentist will place the crown over the tooth to restore its normal shape and appearance
How to care for your treated tooth?
Root canal treated tooth should be cared for just like your natural teeth. It must be cleaned twice a day and flossed to remove any food particle deposits and buildup of plaque that can lead to decay and infections.
It is important to know that root canal treatment can last forever if you take good care of your teeth and cut down on sugary foods and drinks. Visit your dentist for regular checkup and professional cleaning to enjoy healthy teeth for a long time.
