What exactly is a root canal procedure? A root canal treatment is performed to heal the interior of a tooth that has been damaged. Endodontic therapy is another name for it. Drilling a hole in the tooth and removing the soft centre, known as the dental pulp, is the procedure. The dental pulp extends into the roots of the tooth and is made up of connective tissue, nerves, and blood supply. The space is filled and sealed once the pulp is removed. If necessary, the crown, or chewing surface of the tooth, might be replaced as well. Your regular dentist or a specialist endodontist can do root canal therapy.

When is a root canal treatment needed? A root canal treatment can save a badly infected or damaged tooth. The tooth may have become infected or damaged by decay, repeated dental work, wear and tear, gum disease, cracked fillings or an injury to the tooth. When the dental pulp is damaged, bacteria can start to multiply inside the tooth. This can lead to an infection or abscess, which is a pocket of pus that forms at the end of the tooth’s root. Saving your own tooth if possible is important. It works better than an artificial tooth for biting and chewing. Losing a tooth can lead to other problems in the mouth. Replacing a lost tooth with an artificial one often needs more complex dental procedures. Root canal treatment is often the best way of saving a tooth.

What are the signs I might need a root canal treatment? Sometimes there are no symptoms that a tooth needs root canal treatment. More commonly, the signs include: severe toothache when biting or chewing sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts after the heat or cold has been removed darkening of the tooth swollen and tender gums pus around an infected tooth swelling of the face or neck a loose tooth
