What is a Root canal?
A root canal is a tooth-saving procedure designed to eliminate infection from inside the tooth. The treatment involves carefully removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning the inner tooth, and then sealing it to prevent future infections. This process not only alleviates pain but also helps preserve the natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.
The Root Canal Process
1. Cleaning the root canal
The producer is virtually painless thanks to modern dentistry. We will use local anesthetics to numb the infected tooth, which blocks out any pain during treatment.
Once fully numb, a small access hole is made on the surface of the tooth and all the diseased, dead pulp tissue is removed with very small files.
2. Filling the root canal
Next, the cavity is cleaned, shaped and decontaminated, using tiny files and irrigation solutions. Then, the tooth is filled with a rubber-like material, using an adhesive cement to seal the canals completely. After root canal therapy, the tooth is dead. You will no longer feel any pain in that tooth because the nerve tissue has been removed, and the infection has been eliminated. Treatment often takes only one appointment, but if there are curved canals, multi-canals, or large infections, this could take one or two additional appointments.
3. Adding a crown or filling
However, the tooth will be now more fragile than it was before. A tooth with no pulp must receive its nourishment from the ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. This supply is adequate, but in time, the tooth will become more brittle, so a crown or filling offers protection. Until the crown or filling is complete, you should not chew or bite on the tooth. Once there is a crown or filling is done, the person can use the tooth as before.

Skipping root canal therapy isn’t recommended at Refresh Dental. Patients sometimes believe that their tooth infection healed with their pain suddenly gone. This, however, is a tell tale sign that the infection has killed off the pain-sensing nerves.
With an infection still present, this can weaken your tooth. Leading to fractures or cracks that will ultimately lead to needing an extraction. Even worse, with an untreated infection, it can spread to other areas of your body.
