Root Canals
Purpose of a root canal treatment?
The purpose of root canal treatment is to remove bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent the tooth from re-infecting, and preserve the natural tooth. When the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected before filling and sealing.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Root canals are required for injuries, genetics, deep caries, or cracked teeth due to previous filling problems. Patients generally require root canal treatment when they find that their teeth are particularly sensitive to warm and cold sensations. Root canal treatment is an often straightforward procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth.
Symptoms that suggest that a root canal may be needed:
- Severe pain when chewing
- A chipped or cracked tooth.
- Persistent sensitivity to heat and cold, even after the sensation has been removed
- Deep cavities or darkening of the gums
- Swollen or tender gums
Benefits to preserving natural teeth with root canal treatment:
- Efficient chewing
- Normal biting force and feel Looks natural
- Protects other teeth from excessive wear and stress
