Damaged pulp once led to the removal of the tooth. With today's advancement, however, dentists use a procedure called a root canal to restore and protect the tooth's nerves and blood vessels hence saving the tooth.
Benefits of Endodontic Treatment
* Removal of bacterial infection from tooth
* Removal of pain
* Prevention of further spread of infection throughout tooth to periapical tissue and surrounding bone
Procedure for Endodontic Treatment
1. First Evaluation and endodontic tooth preparation
* a small x-ray of the tooth is taken to check the tooth shape and root canals infection site
* local anthesia is administered at the infected site
* a canal is made in tooth to allow for removal of the damaged pulp
2. Clean root canal and pulp chamber
* root canal may be cleaned once or several times to ensure infection is cleared
* in some cases, medications may be placed to prevent infection by removing germs from the teeth
3. Root Filling
* after root canal is check, cleared and measured using the Root ZX apex locator, the root canal is filled
The primary goal of
Endodontist treatment is to create an environment within the root canal system which allows for healing and continued maintenance of the health of periradicular tissue. A successful procedure is one which has removed bacteria in the tooth and completely filled the canals.
Recovery Expectations
For the first few days following the completion of treatment, the tooth may feel sensitive due to natural tissue inflammation, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure. This sensitivity or discomfort usually can be controlled with over-the-counter pain medications. Most patients can return to their normal activities in 3 days.
