Root Canal Therapy

Dental hygiene and dental care are crucial for a person’s overall health. Having healthy and white teeth is not only essential to look beautiful, but it also supports a healthy oral existence. Tooth decay is one of the most common problems that occur when food gets stuck on the teeth, and the bacteria in the mouth start digesting them, which leads to acid formation. These acids destroy the enamel of the teeth, which leads to the formation of cavities. The bacteria reach the pulp or soft tissues present inside the teeth and cause a condition known as an abscess.

Root canal therapy is the process by which a severely decayed infected tooth can be saved. The procedure involves the removal of nerve and pulp, then the inside of the teeth are cleaned and sealed. If this is not done on time, then bacteria would multiply inside the pulp chamber and cause an infection or abscessed teeth. It can also lead to bone loss at the tip of the tooth root. In these situations, root canal therapy can prove to be helpful.

If you have discomfort or tooth pain, then contact our dentist for a limited evaluation. It is important to get checked and be sure you don’t need a root canal treatment.
