About Root Canal Treatment

When is Root Canal Treatment is Needed?

Sometimes bacteria enters the pulp of a tooth and causes an infection. When this occurs, root canal therapy is necessary to save the tooth. During this procedure, the infected pulp is removed and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.

Indications of Root Canal Treatment:

• Severe pain while chewing or biting.
• Pimples on the gums.
• A chipped or cracked tooth.
• Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed.
• Swollen or tender gums.
• Deep decay or darkening of the gums.

Root canal surgery is the treatment of choice to save and secure a decayed/weak tooth and refurbish its functionality and strength. It also takes care of any infection present beneath the nerve slowly and progressively and prevents it from aggravating or expanding into a cyst or a tumor.

Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics Treatment)

Root canal treatment is required when the blood or the nerve supply (known as the pulp) of the tooth gets infected, mostly due to the external decay of the tooth. This can lead to a further infection of the surrounding areas of the tooth. The pulp of the tooth runs in the form of a fine canal system in the roots of the tooth. Infected Pulp is not repairable by the body, thus requiring its removal in case of an infection. This removal is followed by replacing the site previously occupied by the pulp, with a suitable filling material.
