Root Canals

Why is a Root Canal Necessary?

• Severe Tooth Decay: When decay reaches the inner pulp, it can cause intense pain and lead to infection. A root canal addresses the decay before it necessitates tooth extraction.

• Pulp Infection: Bacterial infections can enter the pulp through deep cavities or cracks. A root canal removes the infection and prevents it from spreading further.

• Trauma or Injury: A tooth that has been injured or cracked may develop pulp damage, leading to pain or infection. Root canal treatment can save the tooth and restore its function.

What to Expect During a Root Canal:

1. Diagnosis: Your dentist will use X-rays and clinical exams to determine if a root canal is needed. They will assess the extent of the infection and discuss the treatment plan with you.

2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.

3. Procedure: The dentist will make a small opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber. They will remove the infected tissue, clean and disinfect the canals, and then fill and seal the space.

4. Restoration: After the root canal, the tooth may need a crown to restore its strength and function. This step is crucial for protecting the tooth and ensuring it can withstand normal chewing forces.

Benefits of a Root Canal:

• Pain Relief: Root canals alleviate the severe pain caused by pulp infection and decay, offering significant relief.

• Tooth Preservation: The procedure allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is important for maintaining proper bite alignment and chewing function.

• Improved Oral Health: By addressing the infection and preventing it from spreading, a root canal contributes to overall oral health and prevents further complications.
