What causes the need for a root canal?
When the nerve of a tooth becomes badly infected it can become painful and sensitive to hot or cold items. You can also exhibit moderate to severe swelling of your face and oral tissues. Left untreated, the inflammation and infection can spread to other parts of your body and cause a severe medical situation to not only your oral health but your overall health. So, when your tooth becomes infected due to trauma or a cavity the best way to save your tooth and avoid serious health problems is by performing a root canal.
A root canal is also one of the most common procedures performed and can save your natural teeth preventing the need for dental implants or a fixed dental bridge to replace the tooth or teeth affected.
What happens during a root canal?
During a root canal, the tooth is anesthetized thoroughly for your comfort. Then the affected pulp and nerves of the tooth are removed and the inside chamber where the nerves used to be is cleaned, sterilized and sealed to protect it from further infection.
