Root Canal

Root Canal



Root Canals can save your teeth and give several advantages as opposed to an extraction. The need for a root canal occurs when the pulp of the teeth has a decay or inflammation, mature teeth can function effectively without the pulp. The procedure is to remove the infection from the infected or inflamed pulp. It is usually comfortable, painless, quick and effective. 

Some advantages of a root canal are that you maintain a natural normal appearance, it acts as a support for the other teeth by protecting them from too much strain and pressure, effective proper chewing, as well as biting forces, are maintained.
An endodontic root canal is needed to treat pulp decay or inflammation which can be caused by:
  • Chips or cracks in the teeth
  • Decay
  • Bad fitting crowns
  • Trauma
  • Many dental procedures
An abscess can develop if the infection, inflammation or ongoing pain is not treated.
Mature teeth can function effectively without the pulp it can be nourished by the tissue that surrounds it. Under the dentin and enamel, the pulp is a support system for the roots, it contains:
  • nerves
  • blood vessels
  • connective tissue
It is important to keep the pulp healthy & address issues that can eventually cause damage.
The root canal procedure involves cleaning and disinfecting the infected pulp chamber after the infection is removed. Root canal endodontic treatment replaces the pulp with gutta-percha a rubbery compound. Then a filling or crown is used to restore the tooth so it continues with normal function. Dentist visits will be minimal you have complete restoration & function of eating & your natural smile is maintained.

The time frame for a root canal is usually about twenty minutes to an hour if there is only one root canal. Multiples in the case of molars and bicuspids can typically go up to seventy-five minutes. It is pretty routine and is sometimes done in two appointments depending on the situation, it is normally comfortable, painless, long-lasting and extremely effective.
