  2. What Is a Root Canal? A root canal is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected inner parts of the tooth. Sometimes, decay or injuries can lead to infected tooth pulp. The pulp supplies nutrients to the tooth and ensures it remains viable. When the pulp has been compromised, tooth death can occur rapidly, and the infection can spread.

  3. The Benefits of Root Canals A root canal can relieve the unrelenting pain of a severe infection or inflamed tissues. Root canals help to stop the spread of infection and damage that can lead to tooth loss. This procedure is more efficient than a tooth extraction. When a root canal treatment is coupled with a crown, the results are aesthetically pleasing. Many patients are surprised to learn root canals are less expensive than the full tooth extraction process, which often involves multiple appointments and procedures. Most dental insurance policies cover root canal procedures.

  4. How Do You Know If You Need a Root Canal? Those who see their dentist regularly will be monitored for signs of problems with the health of their teeth. If issues arise in between dental visits, patients need to look for the following. Severe pain that occurs when chewing or biting down Blistering, swelling, or pus drainage on the gums Ongoing sensitivity that does not dim Darkening of the gum tissue around a tooth Worsening decay that runs deep into the tooth

  5. How to Care for Your Tooth After a Root Canal It is important to follow the instructions of the dentist, to ensure proper healing. Some tips can make recovery much easier for patients. Eat a soft foods diet for the first few days so there is no pressure on the healing tooth. Work towards reducing the number of sugary drinks you consume each day. Floss once a day, being careful around the tooth that had the root canal. Brush twice a day, using gentle motions around the tooth.
