Saving the tooth

If a dentist has suggested that you need root canal treatment then it means that the canals of the tooth have become infected. A dentist who has the ability to carry out the procedure to a high standard will be able to remove the infected material out of the tooth and refill the canals successfully.. Once completed the tooth can be crowned which will strengthen the tooth and give the tooth a natural shape and aesthetic appearance. Also by preventing an extraction,  there is no need for further work to replace the gap such as the need for dental bridges or dental implants.

Why does  a tooth need root canal treatment

Normally the nerves and the blood vessel of the tooth are protected by an outer layer of enamel. However if dental decay enters the nerve system of the tooth then the blood supply can become infected. When this happens the resultant pain can be quite severe. Usually if  not treated the pain can lead to a dental abscess. Nerve pain would usually start with a slight throbbing pain. If left untreated the pain can affect your sleep and in the worse cases result in a facial swelling.
