What is root canal treatment?

• Root canal treatment is a method of removing the
  infected or inflamed pulp tissue from within your
  tooth.

  you need to first know about the tissue called
  Dental Pulp.

What is pulp?

• Pulp is the center part of the tooth comprising
  of nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.

Why is root canal treatment needed?

• Root canal treatment can save your tooth by
  repairing a badly damaged tooth instead of
  removing it.

Why is root canal treatment needed?

• Dental pulp extends from the crown (visible part
  of tooth) to the root of tooth.
• When a tooth is cracked, or when it has deep
  cavity, bacteria can get into the pulp causing
  infection.
• If left untreated, the condition can result in
  serious infection, death of pulp and loss of
  tooth

• Symptoms include tooth pain, swelling around your
  face, tooth sensitivity, a crack in your tooth
  and gum swelling.
• If you experience any of the above signs or
  symptoms, then talk to your dentist right away.

  however with the advancement in dental technology
  and anesthesia, most people feel very less
  discomfort.

Process of root canal treatment

• Root canal treatment is usually performed by an
  endodontist or a general dentist (if the
  treatment is not severe).
• Procedure generally takes one or two dental
  visit. However, at times it requires additional
  visits if the treatment is complex.

Process of root canal treatment

• You will receive a local anesthetic so that you
  feel comfortable while performing the procedure.
• Decayed material is removed, and to get access to
  the pulp, an opening is made starting from the
  crown.
• With the use of dental instruments, infected pulp
  is removed.

Cleaning root canal infection

• Root canal is cleaned following the deceased pulp
  is removed.
• Root canal may be enlarged to allow better access
  to perform dental filling.
• Before performing dental fillings, the dentist
  makes sure the root canal is cleaned of all
  infection and allowed to dry.
• Following to cleaning and drying, filling is
  performed

Final Stage

• It involves restoring your tooth. As the tooth
  has large filling, it needs to be shielded from
  future damage.
• A dental crown is placed over the tooth, which
  can protect and give the realistic look.

After root canal

• Once root canal treatment is completed, your
  newly restored tooth should work normally.
• If you follow good oral hygiene, your restored
  tooth can last for a lifetime.

Alternatives to root canal treatment

• Root canal treatment alternatives include removal
  of the damaged tooth and replacing it with dental
  bridge, dental implant, or a removable partial
  denture.
• Perhaps, while comparing the pain caused with the
  procedures, root canal treatment is less painful
  when comparing its alternatives.
