ROOT CANAL THERAPY

WHY DO I NEED A ROOT CANAL?

 

A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged, fractured or infected tooth.

The procedure involves:

Root Canal Therapy - Blincoe and Shutt Aestheitc Dentistry Removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp)
Root Canal Therapy - Blincoe and Shutt Aestheitc Dentistry Cleaning the tooth
Root Canal Therapy - Blincoe and Shutt Aestheitc Dentistry Irrigating the tooth
Root Canal Therapy - Blincoe and Shutt Aestheitc Dentistry Disinfecting the tooth
Root Canal Therapy - Blincoe and Shutt Aestheitc Dentistry Fill and seal the tooth

Common causes affecting the tooth pulp are a cracked / fractured tooth, deep cavity (decay), trauma or repeated treatment to the tooth. While some mistakenly think of lit as an unusually painful treatment, in most cases the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

Do root canals hurt ?

The tooth is painful before the root canal therapy is initiated. Once proper anesthesia is achieved, the root canal therapy begins the healing process and elimination of pain. Each case is different based on the amount of infection present.
