Root Canal Therapy

 

Experiencing severe pain in tooth, swelling of gums in the particular area or intense sensation when in taking hot and cold object can actually be the symptoms of root canal. A root canal is a dental pulp filled with cavity in the root of a tooth. Several people suffer from such serious dental complication but are unaware about a root canal treatment, as they fail to have sound knowledge about the therapy as well as the ailment. 

What is Root Canal Therapy? 

Endodontic Treatment becomes a necessity when the dental pulp -a connective tissue- present inside the root canal is infected or inflamed. Root Canal Therapy intends to remove the infected pulp, attentively cleans and shapes the interior of the canal and seals the emptied space with dental fillings. Generally, a dental crown is attached over the remaining tooth that becomes the entire new biting surface that reestablishes the overall functioning of the tooth. After the process the tooth begins to function like a normal tooth and it also gives equal amount of strength.

Why is Root Canal required?

A dental pulp provides the tooth with vital nourishment essential for the tooth’s proper growth, development and functioning. When the dental pulp gets infected with unwanted bacteria and germs, the pulp eventually dies and if the infection develops it may kill the tooth as well. Once the dental pulp is infected it causes immense pain in its surrounding areas. If such serious dental condition is left without a treatment it may lead to abscess.  Oftentimes, the infection can gradually spread to the neighboring gums and teeth and may potentially harm the health of surrounding teeth.

Root canal (endodontic) treatment is a preventive measure taken in order to protect your tooth from permanent loss. This procedure tends to restore the health of the tooth and to return the tooth to its normal functioning.

Indeed, most patients report that having a root canal treatment today is as safe and ordinary method as getting a cavity filled. Yet, your dentist may inject you with local anesthesia to block the pain and to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout the process.
