Automated Root Canal Treatment!

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 anaesthetics, most people have little if any pain with a root canal today.

Why would I need a Root Canal Treatment?
Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected.

The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes as mentioned below:

• Deep decay
• Repeated dental procedures on the tooth
• Crack or chip in the tooth
• An injury to a tooth
• If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.

What are the signs that you need a Root Canal Treatment?

Signs to look for include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, and discolouration of the tooth. Sometimes, however, there are no symptoms.

What happens to root canal infections if left untreated?

If this pain is suppressed with medication and not treated it can lead to an infection spreading within the bone which may later lead to swelling with pus etc. If this infection is left within it can eat into the supporting bone and eventually infect or affect the adjacent teeth as well. 

How does Root Canal Treatment save the tooth?

Dentist removes the inflamed or infected pulp, carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the canal, then fills and seals the space. Afterwards, we will place a crown or other restoration on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth.
