Root Canals
There are a few reasons why someone might need a root canal. The most common reason is when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected. This can happen due to decay or a crack in the tooth. Other reasons include an abscess (a pus-filled pocket that forms around the root of the tooth) or trauma to the tooth.
If you think you might need a root canal, it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible. An infection in your tooth can spread to other parts of your body, which can be very dangerous. A root canal is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure, so there’s no need to delay treatment.
If you do need a root canal, your dentist will first numb the area around your tooth. They will then make a small hole in the tooth so they can access the infected nerve. Once the nerve is removed, the inside of the tooth will be cleaned and sealed. In most cases, you will need to have a crown (a type of artificial tooth) placed over the tooth after a root canal.
If you’re worried about root canals, talk to your dentist. They can answer any questions you have and help put your mind at ease.
