Root Canal Treatment
For most people, there’s nothing more frightening than to hear the dreaded two words "root canal." But if you have unwanted tooth pain and need a root canal, don’t be scared. When a tooth hurts, it could be because there’s something wrong with the nerve that lives inside of it. A root canal can not only get rid of the pain, it can save your tooth. And usually, the root canal procedure is completely pain-free during the procedure, with minimal discomfort afterwards.
Why does a Tooth need to undergo a Root Canal Treatment?
When a cavity gets too deep inside a tooth, it can allow bacteria from the cavity to irritate the nerve, a condition that can be quite painful. When this happens, the only way to save the tooth is a root canal treatment, which involves removing the infected nerve tissue and replacing it with medication. In other cases, nerve-related tooth pain or sensitivity can occur when a large filling or existing crown gets too close to the nerve. When it does reach this point, a root canal will relieve the pain and sensitivity.
Once the root canal is complete, your dentist will likely recommend a dental crown for the tooth to keep it strong and prevent it from breaking.
What happens if you avoid a Root Canal Treatment?
If the pain in your tooth has subsided, it does not mean that your tooth has healed; in fact, the nerves inside the tooth are too dead to cause any pain. The infection, however, has grown manifold.
The infection from the bacteria can cause further infection of the tissues of the gums and jaws and, in turn, cause a pus-filled abscess.
