Deep cavities in teeth or other injury to a tooth can cause damage or infection to the tooth pulp chamber where the blood vessels and nerve is housed. To save the tooth. root canal treatment can be carried out. The damaged or infected pulp is removed and filled using the latest techniques and special root filling materials.
Once this is carried out, it is recommended that the treated tooth is crowned to ensure its future longevity. Without root canal treatment, the gum and bone around the tooth may become infected and a painful abscess may also form.
Your dentist will inform during your routine check-up/consultation if you are in need of root canal treatment.
A root canal treatment is usually completed in one visit, although you probably will need follow up appointments. During treatment, bacteria inside the root canal is removed. Your dentist will then fill the root canal and seal the tooth with a filling or crown. This procedure is painless.
Your dentist will give you advice on post treatment care. The main thing you should notice is that the pain you were experience before the treatment should now be gone.
Root canal treatment may be necessary if your tooth has been knocked, heavily filled, cracked or decayed. If any of these instances have resulted in pain, infection or darkening of your tooth, root canal therapy may be needed.
Root treatment can take two or three sessions.
