Why Would You Need Root Canal Treatment?
- Root canal treatment is needed for two main reasons: infection or irreversible damage to the pulp. An untreated cavity is a common cause of pulp infection. The decay erodes the enamel and dentin of the tooth until it opens into the root canal system, allowing bacteria to infect the pulp. Infections inside teeth don't respond to antibiotic treatment. The inflammation caused by the infection restricts the tooth's blood supply, so antibiotics in the bloodstream can't reach the infection very well. The reduced blood supply also limits the pulp's ability to heal itself.
- The pulp also can become damaged from trauma, a fracture or extensive restorative work, such as several fillings placed over a period of time. Sometimes, a common dental procedure can cause the pulp to become inflamed. For example, preparing a tooth for a crown sometimes leads to the need for root
What is the use of Root Canal Treatment?
In a nutshell, the process of root canal treatment first removes (as thoroughly as possible) bacteria, infected nerve tissue, the organic debris left over from the breakdown of nerve tissue, and bacterial toxins from within the inner aspects of a tooth (the area originally occupied by the tooth's nerve tissue). Each of these items can produce tissue irritants that can cause your body to activate an inflammation reaction.
Subsequently, once this space has been cleansed the second half of root canal treatment involves filling in and sealing up the interior of the tooth. This aspect of the treatment is an attempt to minimize the possibility that bacteria will be able to recolonize the inner aspects of the tooth or that tissue fluids can seep inside the tooth, become stagnant, and subsequently break down. (Either of these situations could produce a state of persistent inflammation in the tissues surrounding the tooth's root.) The seal also contains and encapsulates any debris that could not be fully removed during the cleaning aspect of the root canal treatment process so that it can't leak out and trigger an inflammation reaction.
How do you know when your tooth needs root canal treatment?
- A tooth is currently causing you pain or else has a history of being painful.
- You have noticed the presence of tenderness and/or swelling in your gums near a tooth.
- Problem teeth identified by x-rays. Dentists often discover teeth that need root canal treatment during routine x-ray evaluations. In the most obvious of these cases the dental x-ray will show a dark spot at the tip of the tooth's root.
- A persistent or recurring pimple on your gums. . Because they are literally drains for pus from an infected tooth, a person might notice that they discharge a bad taste (the pus).
- Exposure of a tooth's nerve.
- Teeth which have been traumatized in an accident.
Steps of Root Canal Treatment
- Gaining access to the nerve area of the tooth. This is accomplished by using a dental drill and making an access hole that extends down to the pulp chamber of the tooth.
- Cleaning the tooth out. The next step of the root canal treatment process is for your dentist to clean out the interior of your tooth (the pulp chamber and all root canals).This cleaning process removes any bacteria, toxins, nerve tissue, and related debris that are harbored inside your tooth.
- Placing the root canal filling material.
Once the tooth has been thoroughly cleaned your dentist can fill in and seal up its interior by way of placing root canal filling material.
IF PROPERLY DONE IT IS A LIFE TIME PROCEDURE
Crowns can also be used on either side of a gap so that a bridge can be constructed to replace one or more missing teeth without the use of implants.
