Root canal therapy is an essential treatment option that may save the natural tooth after it has been damaged by decay or by a significant injury.
Cavities start out as small areas of decay. They are often caused by poor oral hygiene coupled with bacterial growth and digesting sugary foods and beverages. When cavities are not treated promptly, the decay will spread. Eventually, the decay will reach the tooth’s nerve. Root canal therapy is an essential treatment option that may save the natural tooth after it has been damaged by decay or by a significant injury.
During a root canal, the affected area of the mouth will be numbed so that the procedure is pain-free. The dentist will then extract the damaged tissue. The area will be thoroughly sanitized to kill bacteria and to prevent an infection from developing. To complete a root canal treatment, the dentist fills any gaps that have been created with a safe material that promotes tooth health going forward.
Your dental team can help you to decide if a root canal is the most effective treatment option available for your unique situation.
When a serious infection or significant damage is present, the primary goal is to save the natural tooth when it is possible to do so. While there are effective tooth replacement treatments available, saving the natural tooth may be a more comfortable, affordable option that optimizes long-term oral health. A root canal addresses the cause of the issue and protects against future damage and infection. More than that, a root canal may conveniently be completed through a same-day treatment. Your dental team can help you to decide if a root canal is the most effective treatment option available for your unique situation.
