Dentists are trained to diagnose and treat problems when they’re small. Root canal treatment is a specialized procedure that can save your natural teeth and help avoid the risk of developing an infection that can spread to other areas of your body. Because of this, dentists recommend getting a root canal as soon as needed. Root canal treatment is also known as endodontic therapy or a dental pulp procedure. It’s an invasive process that requires both precision and patience during the treatment. Read on to find out more about the reasons behind root canal treatment, the different types of it, and how Serene Dental Center can help you get past this unpleasant experience with ease. Root canal therapy is essential to relieve chronic tooth pains. However, it can be scary to some since it involves needles and other specialized tools. But there’s no need to fret because it’s not as bad as you think. The first step towards getting past your root canal treatment is knowing what’s involved. First, you’ll lie in a comfortable dental chair, and your dentist will numb your tooth and surrounding areas with a local anesthetic. This will help you go through the process with minimal to no discomfort. After that, you’ll need to keep your mouth wide open with your tongue out of the way so your dentist has full access to your teeth. After the root canal is complete, the dentist will apply a temporary filling to the tooth to seal it up. Why Root Canal Therapy Might Be Needed There are many reasons someone may require root canal therapy, such as an infection in a tooth that has decayed, been injured, or had a previous root canal treatment fail. As mentioned, if an infection is left untreated, it can allow bacteria to accumulate and scatter into other areas of the body, leading to dangerous complications. That’s why dentists take root canal therapy very seriously. The sooner you get it, the better, so can save both your tooth and smile. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should visit Serene Dental Center right away: A toothache that feels in your head and shoots down your face signifies something is wrong. If your face, gums, and other areas in your mouth start swelling, it’s a common sign of a developing infection. A bad taste in your mouth is often an indication of an infection. When Root Canal Therapy Is the Answer There are several reasons why your dentist may recommend root canal treatment. However, the dentist will thoroughly examine the tooth first before deciding on this treatment option. They’ll also perform a blood test called a complete blood count (CBC) to rule out any other conditions that may be causing the pain. If any of the following problems are found, root canal therapy is the best way to fix them: If your tooth has suffered severe damage due to decay, it may be possible to save it. In this case, root canal therapy is the best option. If a tooth has a severe fracture or crack, bacteria and toxins will likely enter the tooth. In which, you need root canal therapy to clean the tooth and eliminate the poisons. If you’ve had root canal treatment in the past, but the tooth is still in pain, there may be another infection in the tooth that’s not responding to antibiotics. A root canal treatment is also a great option to relieve you from such pains. Root canal therapy is a necessary evil that must be tackled head-on.

The Dental Difference at Serene Dental Center
Inside each one of your teeth is a chamber-like space containing nerves and the blood supply for your tooth. When the chamber becomes infected, the “pulp tissue” inside it must be removed from the center of the tooth, and the canals of each root. Once infected pulp is removed, the chamber is filled with a rubber-based material to seal it off.
Rather than removing the tooth, it can be saved through Root Canal Therapy. Instead of having a missing tooth or a false tooth installed, you can keep your natural teeth.
Root Canal Therapy is the most effective rescue for an infected tooth. However, the procedure can be difficult. If any of the infection remains following removal, the procedure may need to be reversed and redone to reach the infection underneath.
The only alternative is to remove the infected tooth. When removing the tooth, a dental bridge will be needed to fill the empty space and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth. However, this solution ultimately costs more than the root canal therapy, and without the root canal therapy, your teeth will never look the same. Other alternative is to remove the tooth and consider a dental implant, a bridge, a removal tooth or to leave the space empty.
