Understanding Root Canals
While often referenced in sitcoms as a painful procedure, root canals routinely get people OUT of pain. Root canals are most often indicated when a cavity reaches or gets very close to the nerve, as well as if a tooth has experienced trauma. This leads to a compromised nerve that must be removed painlessly, cleaned, and replaced with a rubber-like material called Gutta Percha.
Occasionally, the tooth may require additional support with a buildup material or post, followed by a crown. Fortunately, advancements in dentistry have made root canals one of the most straightforward procedures today. There’s no need to worry!
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment restores your tooth, preserves your natural smile, and allows you to enjoy your favorite foods comfortably. Most importantly, it reduces the need for further dental work. With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime, offering advantages such as:
- Efficient chewing capability
- Normal biting force and sensation
- Natural appearance
- Protects adjacent teeth from excessive wear and strain
