Root Canal Treatment is a straightforward procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth. It removes the pulp inside the tooth, cleans, disinfects and shapes the root canals, and places a filling to seal the space.
Patients need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth.
After root canal therapy, the tooth is dead. You will no longer feel any pain in that tooth because the nerve tissue has been removed, and the infection has been eliminated.
Root canal treatment can be complete between one to three sessions. A discussion your Dentist will help determine the treatment and number of sessions.
The treatment that is carried out by an Endodontist who will relieve the pain of the procedure by numbing the tooth and surrounding area with local anaesthesia.
Some tenderness is normal after the root canal treatment. It is temporary, and over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication will be able to relieve it. The dentist may prescribe an antibiotic to treat or prevent infection.
After root canal treatment, the tooth is more fragile than before. A tooth with no pulp must receive its nourishment from the ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. This supply is adequate, but in time, the tooth will become more brittle, so a dental crown is added to complete and offers protection.
If the tooth cannot be saved, the next best option is an implant. However, saving the natural tooth is best, if possible, because nothing functions as well as a natural tooth.
