What Does Root Canal Actually Means?


A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.

Then comes the next question - Why root canal is needed?
Root canal therapy is performed when the pulp which is composed of nerves and blood vessels in the tooth becomes infected or damaged. During root canal therapy, the pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.



What happens if you don't get a root canal ?

An infected tooth remains infected until the tooth has a root canal or is removed. If it is not treated the infection can spread and if you don't get Root Canal Treatment then it can lead to much more severe consequences that can be life threatening.

What are signs which may need root canal therapy?

Some of the signs may include

  • Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure.
  • Prolonged sensitivity (pain) to hot or cold temperatures (after the heat or cold has been removed)
  • Discoloration (darkening) of the tooth.
  • Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums.

So friends don't wait if you feel any of the above symptoms and consult with the Dentist to get one to one care from the experts in the field.
