What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure to save a tooth that has been damaged by decay, infection, or injury. It involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the inside of the pulp chamber, and sealing the tooth so it doesn’t get any further problems. Many patients are surprised to find out that a root canal is not as scary as they thought and is similar to having a cavity filled.

The procedure involves your dentist using advanced technology to remove the decayed pulp and bacteria from the tooth. The area is then disinfected and the tooth’s canals are filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Finally, a temporary filling or dental crown is placed to protect the treated tooth and restore its shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need root canal retreatment for an infected tooth?

If you still have symptoms after a root canal such as pain, swelling, or sensitivity to cold temperatures, you may need retreatment. It addresses issues like lingering infection or incomplete seals.

What if I don’t do retreatment?

If you don’t do retreatment, the infection will get worse, and you’ll have more pain, swelling, or even tooth loss. Root canals are crucial in preventing these worsening conditions by effectively treating infected or decayed teeth.

Can I save my tooth?

Yes, retreatment gives your natural tooth another chance. It’s cheaper and less invasive than extraction.

Does a root canal hurt?

Many patients worry about pain but a root canal takes away pain from infection or decay. With local anesthetic the procedure is comfortable. After the treatment any discomfort is mild and temporary and you can get back to your daily activities right away.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Signs you may need a root canal are tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, tender gums, or a deep cavity. If left untreated these symptoms will get worse so it’s best to see your dentist for an exam.

Root Canal Benefits

Root canal treatment has many benefits that can improve your oral and overall health. It saves a natural tooth so you don’t need extraction and replacement. Restoring a treated tooth with a dental crown means your smile will look and function as it should.

  • Relieves Pain: Pain from infection or decay can be miserable. The root canal takes away the pain so you can get back to normal.
  • Saves Natural Teeth: Saving your natural tooth keeps the structure and shape of your smile. A treated tooth functions like any other tooth after restoration.
  • Prevents Further Infection: By removing the infected tissue and sealing the tooth the treatment prevents bacteria from spreading to other parts of your mouth.
  • Improves Oral Health: A successful root canal addresses the problem before it gets worse. If left untreated an infected tooth can lead to serious complications.
  • Restores Function: Once the root canal is done and the tooth is restored with a crown you can chew, speak, and smile again.
