When the nerve of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a successful root canal treatment in Edmonton lets you keep the tooth rather than having to pull it out. Keeping your tooth helps to prevent your other teeth from drifting out of line and causing jaw problems. Saving a natural tooth avoids having to replace it with an artificial tooth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is the process of removing infected, injured or dead pulp from your tooth. The space inside the hard layers of each tooth is called the root canal system. This system is filled with soft dental pulp made up of nerves and blood vessels that help your tooth grow and develop.When bacteria (germs) enter your tooth through deep cavities, cracks or flawed fillings, your tooth can become abscessed. An abscessed tooth is a tooth with an infection in the pulp. If pulp becomes infected, it needs to be removed. An abscessed tooth may cause pain and\/or swelling. Your dentist may notice the infection from a dental x-ray or from other changes with the tooth. If left untreated, an abscessed tooth can cause serious oral health problems.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The dentist removes the inflamed or infected pulp, carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the tooth, then fills and seals the space. Afterwards, you will return to your dentist, who will place a crown or other restoration on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many endodontic procedures are performed to relieve the pain of toothaches caused by pulp inflammation or infection. With modern techniques and anaesthetics, most patients report that they are comfortable during the procedure.For the first few days after treatment, your tooth may feel sensitive, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure. This discomfort can be relieved with over-the-counter or prescription medications. Follow your dentist\u2019s instructions carefully.<\/p>

Your tooth may continue to feel slightly different from your other teeth for some time after your endodontic treatment is completed. However, if you have severe pain or pressure, or pain that lasts more than a few days, call your dentist.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Endodontic treatment can often be performed in one or two visits and involves the following steps:The dentist examines and x-rays the tooth, then administers local anaesthetic. After the tooth is numb, the dentist places a small protective sheet called a \u201cdental dam\u201d over the area to isolate the tooth and keep it clean and free of saliva during the procedure.<\/p>

The dentist makes an opening in the crown of the tooth. Very small instruments are used to clean the pulp from the pulp chamber and root canals and to shape the space for filling.<\/p>

After the space is cleaned and shaped, the dentist fills the root canals with a biocompatible material, usually a rubber-like material called \u201cgutta-percha\u201d. The gutta-percha is placed with an adhesive cement to ensure complete sealing of the root canals. In most cases, a temporary filling is placed to close the opening. The temporary filling will be removed by your dentist before the tooth is restored.<\/p>

After the final visit with your dentist, you must return to have a crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function. If the tooth lacks sufficient structure to hold the restoration in place, your dentist may place a post inside the tooth. Ask your dentist t for more details about the specific restoration planned for your tooth.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The dentist gives you a local anesthetic (freezing).To protect your tooth from bacteria in your saliva during the treatment, the dentist places a rubber dam around the tooth being treated.<\/p>

The dentist makes an opening in the tooth to reach the root canal system and the damaged pulp.<\/p>

Using very fine dental instruments, the dentist removes the pulp by cleaning and enlarging the root canal system.<\/p>

After the canal has been cleaned, the dentist fills and seals the canal.<\/p>

The opening of the tooth is then sealed with either a temporary or permanent filling.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
