Root Canal
Root canal is a procedure to repair an infected or damaged tooth instead of removing it completely. The treatment of root canal is often deemed as painful but with all the dental advances and local anesthetics, most people have little to no pain. In fact, it can be more harmful and painful to live with a decayed tooth.
When a tooth has deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp of the tooth where all the nerves and blood vessels lie. If left untreated these bacteria can cause serious infection which may lead to swollen gum and even loss of tooth itself. To perform this procedure doctor may need x-rays to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of root canal may need 2 to 3 visits with your dentist.
