Healthy Root Leads To Happy Tooth.

It is an idiomatic term for dental operation, endodontic therapy, wherein the pulp is cleaned out so that the teeth are protected.

The main focus is to remove the damaged pulp and make the tooth safe from extraction.

An Overview Of Root Canal

  • The pulp of the tooth has soft tissues inside, which has blood supply in it. Through this tooth receives nutrients, and your teeth can sense the hotness and coldness accordingly. The tissue is prone to damage if there is any deep dental decay in it or has undergone fracture or trauma from recurring dental procedure.
  • If tooth becomes diseased or injured, bacteria breed inside the tissues, scattering infection from natural crown to the inside of the root, hence resulting in complete decay.
  • Which in turn creates small pockets in the gum, where pus formation takes place, and hence the bone inside of it gets damage. This produces pain and creates sensitivity to heat and cold, resulting in swelling and redness.
  • The treatment is performed under local anesthesia. A rubber like composition labeled as rubber dam is used to place in the mouth, to wrap the base of the tooth and hence keeping it dry.
  • He makes a small incision in the top of the tooth, to reach inside the pulp chamber. This helps to mitigate pressure inside the tooth and reduces pain.
  • Series of X-rays is done, to detect the condition of the root canal. Small wires like files are affixed inside the canal, to clean the food particles in there. It is just like irrigation. The canals are enlarged as per requirement, to insert a material called gutta percha.
  • Dentist can also seal or leave the tooth open to deplete the rest over material. A metal is placed in the chamber of the pulp, for strengthening the tooth structure. After this he prescribes an antibiotic so that infection does not spread in the mouth. Gutta percha is used to prevent any further infestation of bacteria.
  • At times gold or porcelain crown or gold inlay is fixed to harden the entire structure.

Advantages Of Root Canal Therapy:

  • It protects the tooth from decay. Until the person goes under this therapy he will spend sleepless night with soreness and ache.
  • If the damage gets intense dentist will prescribe to extract tooth. But if you want to save the tooth then root canal is the safest option. In later period tooth may be of no use but root canal will help the tooth to remain in that place.
  • For cases if you have already lost tooth, then you can only get it back with the help of prosthesis. This may take good amount of expense, so you can shift to root canal therapy; to save the teeth..
  • The success rate is 95% and heading each year to achieve the best.

A crown is placed over tooth, to protect it. If you have undergone root canal then act as dentist has prescribed you and avoid chewing hard food particles. The more you take in antibiotics the more sensitivity fades away. Come and fix an appointment with Affordable Dentist near Me, Fort Worth.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Nguyen today! From the moment I walked in, the entire team, especially Dr. Nguyen and Haley, made me feel comfortable and at ease. I’ve always had a bit of anxiety when it comes to dental appointments, but their calm and reassuring demeanor really helped ease my nerves. I came in to get some cavities filled because I started noticing some discomfort when my tongue brushed against them, and I was dreading the procedure. However, Dr. Nguyen was incredibly gentle and thorough, explaining each step of the process in a way that made me feel completely at ease. Haley was also amazing and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment. What I thought would be a scary and stressful experience turned out to be much smoother and more pleasant than I ever imagined! The office itself is clean and welcoming, and the staff’s professionalism is top-notch. I can confidently say I’ve found my go-to dental practice, and I’ll be returning for all my future dental care. If you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares about your comfort and well-being, I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen!
