Root Canal Treatment - Why It Is Used?

The tooth structure is made up of many parts. The crown is the visible part of the tooth and the root is the inner surface that anchors the tooth and extends into the jaw bone. The inner part of the tooth is a soft material called as dentine which supports the hard outer layer. The root consists of a hard surface called cementum and at the center of the root is a soft pulp tissue.

When the nerve tissue also known as pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to breed inside the pulp chamber or canals. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause infection. The infection in the root canal can cause swelling and can spread to other areas of the face, head or neck if left untreated. The infection can also cause toothaches, tooth sensitivity and discoloration.

To resolve the issue, most dentists use root canal treatment. During the procedure the nerve and pulp are removed and the pulp chamber is cleaned and sealed. Cleaning is very important, if it is not performed correctly then infection and abscess may form. Most people may not notice the condition until the infection worsens and the pain increases.

Root canal therapy is usually performed in two visits and will not involve and pain or discomfort because anesthetic is used by the dentist before the treatment. In conditions where an abscess is already formed, the dentist will suggest a course of antibiotics which will help to reduce the swelling before the actual treatment starts. This will allow the root canal specialist to use anesthetic for the treatment. 



After the treatment, a crown is fitted to ensure the best seal possible. If the root canal leaks or has any problem, you need to visit a dentist immediately, so that he or she can check the condition and do necessary repairs. A root canal generally lasts for around ten years and mostly longer.
