What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that is used to repair and save a damaged or infected tooth. During the procedure, the dentist will remove the infected pulp and nerve tissue from inside the tooth and replace it with a special filling material. This procedure is a safe, effective way to restore the function of the affected tooth and relieve any associated pain or discomfort.

A root canal occurs when bacteria enter the canals or hollow tubes that run through your teeth. Cavities and infections in teeth can spread to other teeth and potentially the jaw and cheek nerves if not addressed.

When a tooth's pulp becomes infected or damaged, a root canal operation can save the tooth by removing the diseased or damaged soft tissue from within the tooth and disinfecting the canals. The root canal treatment is sometimes known as "endodontic" or "endodontic therapy."

Why Get a Root Canal?

If you get a toothache or observe swelling or redness around your tooth, see a dentist as soon as possible to prevent having a root canal. 

A root canal is occasionally required when tooth decay or disease, such as gingivitis, enters the tooth and affects the pulp, which contains the tooth's nerves.

These canals are the empty areas inside your teeth that house blood vessels and nerves, as well as the tooth's hard dental pulp. With a root canal, a dentist can clean the canals and remove the affected pulp.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

In a root canal procedure, your dentist at Fine Quality Dental will clean the roots and remove any diseased or damaged pulp from the interior of your tooth. They will next seal the cleaned-out tooth canals and pulp with sealants and bacteria-killing medicines before placing a one-of-a-kind dental crown to safeguard the tooth.

The first stage in a root canal procedure is to numb the tooth and the surrounding region, including the gums. A local anesthetic, an injection of numbing drugs directly into your gums, or a combination of the two may be used by your dentist. The canals of the tooth will then be opened by your dentist using devices such as a tiny dental drill or a scaler.

This is when the rotting or contaminated tissue is removed and the canals are cleaned.

Advantages of a Root Canal

A root canal is a dental procedure that can help ease the pain and discomfort associated with a root canal infection. A root canal not only relieves pain, but it also cleans out the diseased root canal and restores correct tooth function. Another advantage of having a root canal is that it might keep your tooth from being pulled.

A root canal is a dental procedure that is used to repair and save a damaged or infected tooth. During the procedure, the dentist will remove the infected pulp and nerve tissue from inside the tooth and replace it with a special filling material. This procedure is generally not painful, as local anesthetic is used to numb the area before beginning the procedure. After the procedure, some patients may experience some sensitivity or discomfort, but this should subside within a few days.

Is a root canal worth the cost?
