Root Canal Treatments, Root Canal Therapy

Protect and keep a sick or dying tooth

The problem

Infected or sick tooth due to decay or injury.
Chronic tooth pain from contact with cold and hot liquids.
Pain from pressure or biting down.
Danger of infection spreading.

The solution

There is a pulp chamber inside each tooth, that contains the nerves and blood supply for the tooth. When the pulp becomes infected due to some sort of decay or injury, the pulp must be removed from the center of the tooth and the canals of each root.  As the infected pulp is removed, a rubber-based material is put in the remaining chamber to seal it off.

All teeth that have undergone root canal therapy must be protected with a tooth-like artificial covering known as a crown (see crown section), because teeth that have had the pulp removed are more susceptible to fracture.

Advantages

Root canal therapy is the best way to save a tooth that would otherwise die and need to be removed.

Disadvantages

If a tooth is sick, there are no disadvantages to root canal treatment. Although occasionally root canal therapy may need to be redone to ensure that all of the infection has been removed.
