When the nerve present in the tooth becomes infected or damaged, then root canal treatment is done to remove the infection and save the tooth. It mostly occurs because of entry of bacteria in pulp (Nerve) portion of the tooth. In case of root canal treatment, cleaning and shaping of canals is done followed by filling of canals.
Who performs root canal treatment?
A general dentist or one who specializes in diseases of tooth pulp (endodontist) can perform a root canal.
When is root canal treatment required?
A root canal is needed when tooth decay is likely to cause permanent damage to the pulp or has already done so.
What are the symptoms which suggest that root canal treatment is required?
No symptoms occur at times. Few patients may experience the following signs and symptoms when root canal treatment is required:
- Pain in the tooth
- Sensitivity to hot and cold food stuffs and beverages
- Tooth discoloration
- Swelling and tenderness of gums
- Recurring or persistent bump on gums
What if root canal treatment is not done?
If the pulp portion of tooth is infected and root canal treatment is not done, then infection can spread to the supporting tissues of teeth and tooth abscess formation may take place. Further infection can spread to periodontal tissues and the bone and can ultimately even lead to loosening of the tooth.
Root canal treatment aims to clean, shape and fill the entire root canal of a tooth. A root canal infection can be caused by several things, including decay, injury and possibly also gum disease.
