Root Canal Therapy for Tooth Preservation

Our teeth are made up of three layers: enamel, dentin, and pulp. The pulp is located at the center of the tooth and contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Tooth decay or a deep cavity can cause damage to the pulp, leading to pain, swelling, and sensitivity. When this happens, a root canal procedure, also referred to as endodontic treatment, is necessary to remove the infected pulp and restore the health of your tooth.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy:

1. Prevent Tooth Loss

Without treatment, the infection can spread and cause the tooth to become loose and eventually fall out. By undergoing endodontic treatment, you can save your tooth and maintain a healthy smile. The procedure also helps to protect your other teeth from decay or infection by preventing bacteria from spreading.

2. Relief from Pain and Discomfort

The infection in the pulp of the tooth is what causes severe pain and discomfort. By removing the infected pulp and sealing off the area, you can get relief from all of the pain and sensitivity.

3. Cost-Effective Tooth Preservation

Without treatment, an infected tooth may need to be extracted, requiring a costly dental implant. Root canal treatment can save you money in the long run by preserving your existing tooth and preventing the need for an expensive replacement.

4. Preserve Natural Tooth Structure

An endodontic procedure helps to preserve the natural structure of your tooth. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed and the area is sealed off, but the remaining tooth structure remains intact. The procedure also helps to protect your other teeth from damage or decay by preventing bacteria from spreading.

How Does Root Canal Work?

During a root canal, our dentist will perform an examination of your tooth and surrounding gums. This helps us to determine the extent of the infection and plan the best course of treatment for you. We will then apply a local anesthetic to ensure that you remain comfortable during the procedure. Once the area is numb, we will use special tools to access the infected pulp and remove it from the tooth. After the infected tissue is removed, we will clean and fill the area with an antibiotic solution to prevent further infection. Finally, we will place a filling in the area to seal off the root canals and restore the health of your tooth.

After your procedure is complete, it’s important to practice good dental hygiene habits in order to prevent future issues and maintain healthy teeth for life. This includes brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting our dental team for regular checkups and cleanings.
