In the past, a badly infected, painful tooth was doomed to be extracted. Today majority of these teeth can be salvaged by a special dental procedure called Root Canal Therapy.
When is a root canal needed?
A root canal treatment is needed when a tooth's nerve and associated blood vessels are irreversibly damaged either by trauma to the tooth or because of a deep cavity. This results in infection that may lead to an abscess at the base of the tooth.
Typical signs and symptoms
1. Throbbing pain in the tooth
2. Swelling in the jaw
3. The tooth may be painful to chew on
4. Pain on consuming hot and/or cold foods
5. Teeth that are severely worn out
The root canal procedure
- Your treatment may take one or more visits, where the nerve of the offending tooth is removed and the root canal is subsequently filled.
- The procedure may be done under local anaesthesia
- Your Dentist may take x-rays to ensure that the full length of your root canal is treated
- If your roots are unusually shaped or there are other complications, you may need to have apical surgery (Apicoectomy) as advised by your dentist
- After the root canal, a core filling is done and the tooth may subsequently be protected with a cap
While your root canal treatment is going on
1. Take medication as prescribed
2. Do not eat anything hard on the offending tooth
3. Avoid any heat fermentation on the outside
4. Once the inside of your tooth is treated the outside is usually protected by a crown
Now your tooth should function and feel like your other teeth.
