Root Canal is called Endodontics, it is an effective treatment for people whose dental pulp is infected or inflamed. With this method, the tooth can be saved from the danger of extraction.

Dental pulp consists of connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels and continues to the roots of the tooth. The proliferation of bacteria in this area causes damage to its nerve roots and gums and causes pain.

Time to perform root canal treatment

The pulp and root of the tooth may be vulnerable due to decay and infection, wear and tear, gum disease, frequent tooth restorations and other factors. At this time, bacteria migrate to the infection site and start multiplying inside the tissue, and an abscess has started. It causes the formation of a pus mass in the apex or root.

Signs of root canal treatment
Severe pain when chewing or biting
Sensitivity of teeth or gums to heat or cold even after removing the factors
Swollen or sensitive gums
Swelling of the face or neck
Accumulation of pus around the infected tooth

*Of course, the final diagnosis of these symptoms is the responsibility of the dentist.

Procedures for root canal treatment
First, the dentist takes a photo of the tooth to see the shape of its root canals and determine the surrounding infection
Using local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth before drilling it to remove the pulp

Each tooth has between 1 and 4 root canals depending on its type. In this work, all the canals will be cleaned, shaped and disinfected.

Root canal treatment is detailed and takes several sessions. When the treatment process is over, the space of the canals is filled with a substance called gutta-percha. Finally, a filling material such as amalgam or composite or porcelain is used.

Basically, root canal treatment is a little more painful and takes more time than a regular tooth filling.

*Finally, timely treatment of the root prevents the spread of infection and relieves your pain.
