Non Surgical Root Canal Therapy


Root canal treatment is an extremely common procedure called endodontic therapy. It is an excellent restorative dental treatment that can restore a severely infected tooth by removing the infection from deep inside the tooth.

The only alternative to this treatment would be to remove the tooth entirely, a procedure we only recommend as a last resort as we would far rather protect and preserve your natural teeth.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Natural teeth consist of the tooth crown, the part you normally see in the mouth, and this is covered with protective tooth enamel.

Directly underneath the tooth enamel is a layer of softer material called dentin. The dentin surrounds the central part of the tooth called the pulp chamber, and this houses the nerves, blood vessels, and other tissues that help nourish the tooth. The tooth nerve senses changes in temperature and pain. The dental pulp extends into the tooth roots called the root canals.

When the bacteria reach the dental pulp and the tooth nerve, it can cause a severe toothache. The dental pulp can also become inflamed and painful if you knock a tooth.

What Are the Signs I May Need Root Canal Treatment?
High sensitivity and tooth pain are two of the most common signs that a tooth has become infected.

The tooth may hurt when you bite down, or continuously. The pain may be sharp or throbbing. When you eat anything hot or cold or sweet, your tooth may feel uncomfortably sensitive. If you look at the tooth, it could appear discolored, and the gum around it may be swollen and red, and tender to touch.

A severe tooth infection can cause bad breath and an unpleasant taste and spread deep into the root canals and the surrounding bone, weakening and breaking down the bone. Eventually, an infected tooth can become loose.

As the infection worsens, it can kill the tooth nerve entirely so that the toothache may disappear. Unfortunately, the infection will remain and will continue to affect your oral health unless treated professionally. A severe toothache is a symptom that something is wrong and cannot clear up without the proper dental treatment.
