WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

A root canal is a treatment to save a badly decayed,damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp-the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels), cleaning and disinfecting followed by filling and sealing.Then the tooth is restored with a filling or crown for strength and protection.

WHY AND WHEN ARE ROOT CANAL TREATMENTS REQUIRED?

Decay of the teeth (cavities) if left untreated, generally progress and gradually destroy a significant portion of the tooth before reaching the ‘pulp’ of the tooth. The pulp of the tooth is a thin soft tissue present in the tooth canals consisting of mainly nerves and blood vessels. Once this infection reaches the pulp it gives rise to a common ‘dental pain’. At this stage the tooth can only be saved by performing a root canal treatment.

Symptoms of the Root Canal:

If your tooth gets infected from inside, it might not hurt at first. But if you don't treat it, it will start hurting and make your gums swell. Sometimes, a sore bump (abscess) can even show up. So, don't ignore it – get it checked!
Signs that you might need a root canal:

Toothache: Persistent pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.

Swollen Gums: Swelling around the affected tooth.

Temperature Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold substances.

Darkening of the Tooth: The tooth may appear darker than the others.

Prolonged Pain:Pain that lingers even after the stimulus is removed.

If you notice any of these, it's essential to see a dentist to figure out if a root canal is needed.
