ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
WHAT IS IT? ROOT CANAL THERAPY, ALSO KNOWN AS
ENDODONTIC THERAPY, IS A DENTAL TREATMENT FOR
REMOVING THE INFECTION FROM INSIDE A TOOTH. IT
CAN ALSO PROTECT THE TOOTH FROM FUTURE
INFECTIONS. IT IS CARRIED OUT IN THE PULP OF
THE TOOTH, WHICH IS THE ROOT CANAL.

Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is not a treatment, but it is a
part of the tooth. It is the hollow section of
the tooth that contains nerve tissue, blood
vessels, and other cells. It is also known as the
pulp. A tooth consists of a crown and roots. The
crown is mainly above the gum, while the roots
are below it. The roots attach the tooth to the
jawbone. Inside the crown and the root, or the
root canal, is the pulp. The pulp nourishes the
tooth and provides moisture to the surrounding
material. The nerves in the pulp sense hot and
cold temperatures as pain. The name of the dental
procedure commonly referred to as a root canal
is actually endodontic therapy, which means
inside the tooth. However, the term root
canal has come to be commonly

used to talk about the procedure.

WHO SHOULD UNDERGO IT?

• SOME PATIENTS OPT FOR EXTRACTION, ESPECIALLY IF
  IT HURTS A LOT OR IF THE TOOTH CANNOT BE
  RESTORED, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE IS LARGE DECAY,
  TRAUMA, OR LOSS OF BONE DUE TO PERIODONTAL, OR
  GUM, DISEASE.
• HOWEVER, REMOVING A TOOTH MAY MEAN THAT THE
  SURROUNDING TEETH START TO MOVE AND BECOME
  CROOKED. THIS CAN LOOK UNSIGHTLY, AND IT CAN MAKE
  IT HARD TO HAVE A GOOD BITE.
• ROOT CANAL THERAPY WILL USUALLY SAVE THE TOOTH
  AND ELIMINATE THE PAIN.
• IF THERE IS A DEEP CAVITY, A CRACKED TOOTH, OR A
  LOOSE FILLING, BACTERIA CAN ENTER THE PULP
• AN INFECTION WILL WEAKEN THE BONE AND BREAK IT
  DOWN. THE LIGAMENTS AROUND THE TOOTH WILL SWELL,
  AND THE TOOTH WILL BECOME LOOSE.

WITHOUT TREATMENT, THE INFECTION WILL SPREAD.
EVENTUALLY, THE TOOTH WILL BECOME LOOSE AND NEED
EXTRACTING.

Complications
In an extremely small percentage of patients,
the surrounding nerves around the affected tooth
can be disrupted by the root canal procedure.
In some cases, this can cause numbness in that
area. This is nothing to worry about - it
usually goes away within a few weeks. Another
root canal risk is an allergy to anesthesia. If
you have experienced an allergic reaction to an
anesthetic during a previous medical procedure,
inform your dentist immediately.

HOW TO MINIMIZE RISKS FROM ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
BEFORE YOUR PROCEDURE, YOULL HAVE THE CHANCE TO
SPEAK TO YOUR DENTIST ABOUT ANY POTENTIAL
COMPLICATIONS THAT COULD OCCUR DURING OR AFTER
YOUR TREATMENT. AND REMEMBER PREVENTION IS
ALWAYS BETTER THAN A CURE, SO ENSURE YOU
MAINTAIN GOOD ORAL HYGIENE FOLLOWING TREATMENT,
AND THAT YOU AVOID SUGARY FOODS AND SMOKING.
