One of the most notoriously known procedures in endodontics is the root canal. Endodontics focuses on the nerves of the teeth. As you may know, anything that affects a nerve in the body is quite painful. It is vital that steps are taken toward the prevention of ever needing a root canal. Kidz Connextion Dental & Braces in Phoenix, AZ, is committed to educating patients about proper dental hygiene at home and the importance of regular dental cleanings.
When bacteria infect the root canal of a tooth, a root canal procedure is required to eliminate this bacteria, prevent reinfection, and save the natural tooth. When a patient undergoes a root canal, the inflamed pulp caused by the bacteria is removed, then the inside of the tooth is disinfected, filled, and sealed carefully. If the natural tooth is saved with a root canal, there are many advantages for the patient. Benefits include protection from the other teeth getting worn or stained, normal biting force and sensation, natural appearance, and better chewing.
Signs that you might need a root canal include:
-Swollen or tender gums
-A chipped or cracked tooth
-Pimples on your gums
-Pain while chewing or biting
-Darkening of your gums
-Sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been physically removed
