It is important not to ignore this problem, as an abscess may develop and lead to bone loss. However, thanks to root canals, there’s no need to panic. Root canals are safe and effective in saving your tooth and your smile. It is a solution to problems relating to the dental pulp giving you fast and lasting relief.

During the treatment, the dentist takes an x-ray to see the shape of the root canals and identify any signs of infection in the bone structure. Then he or she will make an opening from the top of the tooth and decides the length of the canals. Next, he or she will remove the dead pulp to get rid of all the pain and swelling. Later, the root canal is cleaned and is shaped and prepared for the filling material consisting of sealer paste and rubber compound. The top access hole is then covered with filling. Finally, it is sealed for protection.

At a secondary procedure a crown is placed over the treated tooth to preserve and protect it from future damage due to infection or decay.
