A root canal is a procedure that treats the nerve of the tooth, and is carried out on the pulp of a tooth. It’s one of the most effective means of preserving a tooth.
A root canal is needed when the pulp inside the tooth is infected, inflamed, or simply dead. The pulp is a soft substance in the center of the tooth that consists of nerve, blood vessels, and connective tissue, and is contained within the pulp chamber. The biggest sign that you might need a root canal is a persistent tooth ache, often severe.
Tooth pulp can become infected and inflamed for a number of reasons. These include:
Our goal is to relieve you of pain and restore and preserve your tooth.
During a root canal treatment, a hole is made in the crown of the tooth to remove the pulp of the tooth and clean out the pulp chamber completely.
This removes the affected tissue, along with any bacteria that might result in further flare-ups.
The tooth is then filled with a rubber-like material that preserves the tooth’s integrity while preventing any further bacterial infections.
A cap is then placed over the tooth to help maintain its structure.
Saving the natural tooth is usually the best option, so root canal treatment is generally the treatment of choice.
The only alternative to having a root canal is a tooth extraction and having it replaced with an implant, bridge, or denture.
If a tooth is extracted and not replaced with some type of restoration, chewing function will be impaired and teeth may shift.
