Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal
Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by
decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue
inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the
resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which
restore the tooth to its full function.
Having a root canal done on a tooth is the treatment of choice to save a
tooth that otherwise would die and have to be removed. Many patients
believe that removing a tooth that has problems is the solution, but what is
not realized is that extracting (pulling) a tooth will ultimately be more costly
and cause significant problems for adjacent teeth.
Root canal treatment is highly successful and usually lasts a lifetime,
although on occasion, a tooth will have to be retreated due to new
infections.
Signs and symptoms for possible root canal therapy:
- An abscess (or pimple) on the gums. Sensitivity to hot and cold.
- Severe toothache pain.
- Sometimes no symptoms are present.
- Swelling and/or tenderness.
Reasons for root canal therapy:
- Decay has reached the tooth pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth).
- Infection or abscess have developed inside the tooth or at the root tip.
- Injury or trauma to the tooth.
What does root canal therapy involve?
A root canal procedure requires one or more appointments and can be performed by a dentist or endodontist (a root canal specialist). While the tooth is numb, a rubber dam (a sheet of rubber) will be placed around the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva. An access opening is made on top of the tooth and a series of root canal files are placed into the opening, one at a time, removing the pulp, nerve tissue, and bacteria. If tooth decay is present, it will also be removed with special dental instruments.
Once the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, it will be sealed with either a permanent filling or, if additional appointments are needed, a temporary filling will be placed.
