Root canal treatment is recommended for patients who develop an inner soft-tissue infection. As these types of infections don't clear up on their own. Our treatment process includes evaluating the oral history of the patient, performing a comprehensive oral evaluation, running a few tests if required, communicating with the patient regarding the treatment procedures, and, then start treating the patient with a precise diagnosis and, effective treatment plan. Root canal treatment will generally take two to three visits so that the inside of the infected tooth can be appropriately cleaned, shaped, and filled once the nerve is removed. A filling is fitted on top of your natural tooth to make it completely functional and comfortable.
A root canal is essential when a bacterial infection penetrates the nerve and pulp of the tooth. In some severe cases, this can ultimately compromise the nerves, resulting in severe pain, and in most situations, an urgent trip to the dentist is required. Problems Arise as the nerve of the tooth has a small blood source that brings blood and immunity into the nerve cavity inside the tooth. This small amount of immunity is easily overpowered by decay or a crack in a tooth resulting in the death of the nerve.
Root canal treatment, also called endodontics ("endo": inside; "dontia": tooth), is a set of procedures designed to treat problems of the soft pulpal tissue, which contains nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth. Although some mistakenly think that it is a painful treatment, in most cases the procedure is no more uncomfortable than the placement of a filling. It is actually one of the most effective ways to relieve some toothaches. Root canal treatment is necessary when an infection or inflammation occurs in the pulpal tissue of the tooth. Pulpal tissue consists of blood vessels, connective tissue, and nerve cells; this explains why a problem here can cause such intense pain. In due time, the pain may go away, at least temporarily. However, without treatment the infection will not. It can cause a dental abscess and can even cause systemic problems in other parts of the body.
