Understanding the Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
A tooth is a hard organ with an enamel outer surface, containing the pulp, which is made up of dental nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. The pulp can get inflamed or infected due to tooth decay, trauma, or other causes, leading to the death of pulp tissue and the loss of vitality in the tooth. Root canal treatment is a procedure that involves cleaning the inflamed or infected part of the dental pulp and filling the root canals to preserve the vitality of the tooth and prevent tooth loss. Symptoms that indicate the need for root canal treatment include pain, swelling, sensitivity around teeth, change in tooth color, pain when touching the tooth, and a rotten smell.
The stages of root canal treatment
1. Removal of the gum to access the dental pulp.
2. Cleaning of the pulp tissue.
3. Expansion and shaping of the root canals.
4. Filling of the root canals.
5. Tooth filling.
Root canal treatment is usually completed in a single session, but sometimes more than one session is required. The advantages of this treatment include preserving the vitality of the tooth, preventing tooth loss, relieving toothache, and improving dental health. However, there may be some disadvantages, such as the need for anesthesia, tooth sensitivity after the procedure, and the possibility of tooth breakage.
