Root Canal
Have you experienced discomfort while chewing, swollen gums, loosening teeth, or jaw swelling? There's a possibility of an infected tooth. If neglected, this infection may extend to other parts of your body, posing risks beyond just your teeth.
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure which involves treating infection in the centre of the tooth.
What is root canal treatment?
All teeth have a nerve supply for sensing pain and other stimuli. If decay, trauma, or gum disease affect this nerve, it can cause pain, making daily activities challenging. Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, may be needed in such cases. This involves delicately cleaning the root canals, removing infected nerve tissues, and filling them to restore the tooth. The success rates are high.
Without root canal treatment, the only alternative is to remove the tooth, leaving a gap or replacing it with options like an implant, bridge, or removable denture. While these alternatives can be successful, they don't compare to the natural tooth.
