My dentist told me I need to have endodontic treatment! What is that? Conventionally known as root canal therapy, this treatment helps reduce or eliminate the pain someone is in due to deep tissue issues beneath a tooth. If you want to know how endodontic treatment works for you, continue reading how we at Woodlawn Dental Centers can help you.
Root Canal Therapy in Cambridge Ohio
Root canal therapy will be suggested when bacteria has started to fill inside the tooth where the nerve pulp is. All teeth have these pulps and are how we feel things from our teeth. Bacteria can get inside the channels for many reasons and will always cause sensitivity and pain for the teeth.
In order to treat the pain, the pulp will be removed and the area will be cleaned out of bacteria. To start treatment, one of our dentists will numb the site around the pain. Then, part of the crown of the tooth where you are having pain will be removed. This is done to clean out the bacteria, remove infected tissue and, and remove the inflamed or damaged pulp. Following this, we fill the crown back in.
During this procedure, you should not have pain. The most pain felt should be a small amount of pressure similar to having a cavity filled. Once completed, the tooth should be strong enough to handle your normal diet with the same level of functionality as before. Root canals can preserve the majority of the natural tooth, resolve toothaches, and restore tooth functionality. That is why they are highly recommended when the tooth is viable.
