What is a root canal therapy?

Root canal therapy is the treatment required to fix a tooth with deep and extensive decay that would otherwise need to be extracted. Root canal therapy involves the removal of infected or inflamed pulp from the inside of the roots of the tooth.

The pulp is the soft tissue inside the crown and roots of teeth containing nerves and blood vessels. Once an infected or inflamed pulp is removed, the tooth can be retained and would function normally. 

What happens during root canal therapy?

Before the root canal therapy, the dentist will take several x-rays of the affected tooth and its surrounding area. Then, The tooth will be numbed with a local anesthesia.

At this point, all of the tooth decay will be removed. Then the dentist will access to the pulp chamber inside the tooth to remove the pulp within the crown and roots.

The root canals will be cleaned and completely sealed with a dental filling material that will prevent any further infection.

Root canal therapy treatments are commonly completed within a single appointment but sometimes over several appointments. After the root canal therapy is complete, the tooth is then restored with a strong dental filling.

In many cases, a crown will be recommended by the dentist to prevent possible future tooth fracture.
