ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

[trustde...@gmail.com]

It is a dental procedure to save a tooth when it has a diseased pulp
also known as “nerve”.

The Dental Pulp

It is a soft tissue made up of blood vessels, nerves, and cells. It
normally occupies the center of the tooth from the crown to the tip of
the root.

What causes an infection of the Pulp can be?
A deep dental cavity, which allows bacteria to enter the pulp causing
an infection or tooth abscess, leading to pulp death, loss of bone
that supports the tooth in place and loss of the tooth itself if left
untreated. You may be experiencing tooth pain, gum swelling and
sensitivity to temperature and while you chew.

What does the root canal treatment involve?
In most cases, it is a relatively simple procedure, done by an
Endodontist. The root canal can be done in one visit with little or no
discomfort.
During treatment your dentist will control the pain with local
anesthetic, decay is removed, and an opening is made through the crown
of the tooth to gain access to the pulp chamber. Using dental files
the diseased or infected pulp is removed. The root canals are cleaned,
shaped then filled.

In the final step a post is placed in the canal to give structural
support and a crown is placed over the tooth to protect from future
damage. Now your tooth can return to it’s normal function.
