A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save and repair a tooth that’s badly decayed or infected. The procedure involves removing the tooth’s damaged or infected pulp (the soft core within the tooth), cleaning and disinfecting the area, and then filling and sealing it. The term “root canal” comes from the act of cleaning the canals inside the tooth’s root.
Root canals are needed when the tooth’s pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, large fillings, a crack or chip in the tooth, or trauma. If left untreated, this can cause severe toothache, abscess, or even loss of the tooth.
Symptoms that may indicate the need for a root canal can include severe toothache when chewing, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums, or a persistent or recurring pimple on the gums.
What to Expect When Visiting the Dentist for a Root Canal
When you visit Woodhouse Dental for a root canal treatment, we’ll ensure you are as comfortable as possible. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Local Anesthesia: To start, the dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth using a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Pulp Removal: The dentist will then create an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. Using special instruments, they will remove the infected or inflamed pulp.
- Cleaning and Filling: After the pulp is removed, the dentist will clean and enlarge the root canals to prepare them for filling. They will then fill and seal the canals with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha.
- Restoration: Finally, a crown or other restorative material will be placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.
