Root Canal
Root Canal Treatment Overview
Root canal treatment, also known as Endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that aims to save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. If left untreated, the infection can spread and cause serious health concerns.
Root Canal Signs, Symptoms & Causes
Root canal treatment is required when the inner pulp of the tooth gets inflamed or infected. Dental pulp comprises nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Inflammation can occur due to extensive tooth decay, traumatic injuries such as sports related injuries, accidents or falls, deep fillings, gum disease, or a cracked or fractured tooth.
Common signs and symptoms that may warrant root canal treatment include:
- Pain in varying degrees- sometimes no pain is present!
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling
- Pimple like bump on the gums (Abscess)
- Tenderness to the gum or jaw
- Foul taste in the mouth
- Bad breath
- Pus coming from the infected area
- Discolouration of the tooth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
Root Canal Procedure
When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal treatment becomes necessary. During the procedure, the dentist removes the damaged or infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the pulp space, before sealing it to prevent further infection. By undergoing a root canal procedure, patients can alleviate pain, retain their natural tooth structure, and avoid escalation which could result in tooth extraction. Root Canal treatment can have a positive impact on your dental health by supporting normal chewing function, preserving natural tooth alignment and maintaining your smile!
