There are three layers to a tooth: the enamel, the dentin, and the inner chamber, or pulp. Dentists treat enamel and dentin decay with fillings, but if decay reaches the pulp, root canal therapy is usually recommended to eliminate pain. There are many people who are afraid of root canal therapy. Although it takes longer than tooth fillings, root canal therapy is not more painful than a filling.
Toothaches should be taken seriously by individuals. If the infection is not treated promptly, it may result in an abscess and threaten the health of adjacent teeth. It is also possible for the infection to enter the bloodstream and spread to other vital organs. If toothaches are not treated, serious health risks may arise.
Dr. Kirpaul Chattha and Associates Provide Restorative Root Canal Therapy
The pulp of a tooth consists of nerves that become painful and inflamed when infection is present. Dentists relieve the symptoms of a toothache by creating an access point in the crown of the tooth. Small dental files are inserted into the tooth to remove the infected pulp from the tooth’s inner canal. Afterward, the canal is disinfected, and the dentist places a substance called gutta percha inside to seal the chamber.
Usually, when teeth require a root canal, advanced tooth decay has damaged the tooth. After a root canal, the tooth can also become brittle. Dr. Chattha and Associates cap treated teeth with crowns to protect the tooth from further damage and permit the tooth’s function to continue.
