Root Canal Procedure
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that saves a severely infected or damaged tooth by removing the infected pulp, cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the tooth to prevent further damage. It is often the last step to preserve a natural tooth, avoiding extraction.
Reason you need a Root Canal Treatment
- Deep Cavities: Tooth decay can penetrate the enamel and dentin, reaching the pulp and causing infection
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can affect the supporting structures of the teeth, potentially leading to pulp infection
- Trauma or Injury: A blow to the tooth can damage the pulp, even if there are no visible cracks or chips.
- Cracks or Chips: These can allow bacteria to enter the tooth and infect the pulp.
- Repeated Dental Procedures: Multiple treatments on the same tooth can lead to pulp damage or inflammation.
- Tooth Sensitivity: Severe and prolonged sensitivity can indicate pulp damage, warranting a root canal.
