Everything you need to know about Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is an often straightforward procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth. Patients typically need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth. During root canal treatment, an endodontist who specializes in such treatment carefully removes the pulp inside the tooth, cleans, disinfects and shapes the root canals, and places a filling to seal the space.

  1. Everything you need to know about Root Canal Treatment

  2. Definition • Root canal treatment is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth which results in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.

  3. Is the tooth dead after a root canal? • Root canal therapy can reclaim teeth after they have died. In order to understand this, you must first understand the anatomy of a tooth. The most common causes of pulp death are physical trauma to the tooth, a cracked tooth, or a deep cavity.

  4. Is it better to have root canal? • Between a root canal and a tooth extraction, a root canal is often the preferred choice because it works on fixing your natural tooth so that it could remain in place. If a tooth is far too compromised, your dentist might recommend an extraction, followed by a dental implant to replace what was lost.

  5. Is it my tooth change after root canal? • Other reasons for staining after a root canal includes leftover canal filing materials being left in the crown of the tooth and root canal medications. The most common cause however, is caused by the deadened dentin left inside the tooth.

  6. Are root canals harmful to health? • There is no valid scientific evidence supporting research to date. Not only are root canals safe and effective, they eliminate bacteria from the infected roots of teeth, improving both your oral health and your overall health.

  7. How root canals affect your health? • Instead, researchers found that people with root canal fillings were no more likely to be ill than people without them. Research stated that bacteria trapped in the teeth during root canal treatment can cause almost any type of disease, including arthritis, heart disease, kidney disease and others.

  8. What happens if a root canal fails? • Root canals will fail if there are undetected canal branches, cracks in the root, or an obstruction that makes it difficult to properly clean the root of a tooth. A failed root canal will begin to hurt and could cause pain through a noticeable abscess tooth.
