What Happens in a Root Canal?

When you have throbbing tooth pain, a pus-filled
sac on your gum line, a darkened tooth, or any of
the other obvious signs of infection, the first
thing Dr. Ala Din needs to do is locate the
source of the problem with dental x-rays. Its
also necessary for him to complete a thorough
oral exam to ensure that another issue is not
causing your symptoms. Depending on the severity
of your symptoms, Dr. Din may perform a root
canal right away or schedule it for a later date.

If youre wondering what happens in a root canal,
the first thing Dr. Din does is place a
rubber-like sheet called a dental dam in your
mouth to keep it clean and free from saliva. The
next step is to drill a small opening in the
crown of your tooth in order to access and remove
the infected pulp. Dr. Din cleans your entire
tooth from the inside before placing a dental
crown on top of it. This helps to strengthen your
tooth and guard against further infection.

Leaving infected tooth pulp in your mouth can
lead to significant complications. The most
common one is an abscessed tooth. This is an
extremely painful condition that can cause you to
lose muscle in your jaw bone. The infection in
your tooth can also spread to nearby teeth,
causing unnecessary decay and the possibility
that they too will require treatment. The minor
discomfort of a root canal is well worth it when
you consider what could happen if you ignore the
problem.
