Description
  • Root canal is a treatment to repair and save a
    badly damaged or infected tooth instead of
    removing it. The procedure involves removing the
    damaged area of the tooth (the pulp) and cleaning
    and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it.
    The common causes affecting the pulp are a
    cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental
    treatment to the tooth or trauma to it. The term
    "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canals
    inside the tooth's root.
  • Decades ago, root canal treatments were painful.
    With dental advances and local anesthetics, most
    people have little if any pain with a root canal
    today.

Planning
  • Many people worry that a root canal will be
    painful, something that was true in the past.
    Today, with advanced anesthesia options and
    surgical techniques - a root canal is as
    comfortable as getting a filling. An infected
    tooth (pre-root canal), is usually what causes
    tooth pain, and a root canal is the solution to
    this problem. In fact, infected tooth pulp can
    cause a tooth abscess and can destroy the bone
    surrounding the tooth.
  • A treated and restored tooth can last a lifetime
    with proper care. Root canals have a high success
    rate and are significantly less expensive than
    the alternative, tooth extraction and replacement
    with a bridge or implant.
  • But tooth decay can still occur in treated teeth,
    so good oral hygiene and regular dental exams are
    necessary to prevent further problems.
  • To determine the success or failure of root canal
    treatment, dentists typically compare new X-rays
    with those taken prior to treatment. This
    comparison will show whether bone continues to be
    lost or is being regenerated.
  • Sometimes root canals are not successful because
    an infection develops inside the tooth, or the
    original infection was not fully removed. In
    these cases, an apicoectomy, a procedure where
    the infection and the root tip are removed and a
    filling placed, is done. Other times a second
    root canal is recommended.
