Beyond the Pain: What Root Canal Treatment Addresses
Ever had a really bad toothache that just won't go away? The kind that hurts when you take a sip of coffee or eat food? If so, you're not the only one. That pain might mean the soft inside of your tooth, called the pulp, is irritated or has an infection and that's where a root canal treatment can be a true lifesaver.
Understanding Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a dental treatment to fix a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp. The dentist removes the pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then fills and seals it. This process removes bacteria, prevents future infection, and saves the natural tooth.
Saving your tooth: Easier than you think!
Root Canal Treatment Explained: Why Does the Dental Pulp Become Inflamed or Infected?
Deep Tooth Decay (Cavities): Bacteria from untreated cavities can reach the pulp.
Cracked or Broken Teeth:Â These can expose the pulp to bacteria.
Repeated Dental Work:Â Multiple procedures on one tooth can sometimes irritate it.
Injury to the Tooth:Â A hard knock can damage the pulp.
When a Toothache is More Than Just a Toothache: Understanding Root Canal Symptoms
The key signs you might need a root canal treatment:
Severe, lasting toothache.
 Pain when chewing.
 Lingering sensitivity to hot/cold.
 Swollen gums.
 Darkening of the tooth.
 Pimple-like bump on gums.
 Tooth feels tender to touch.
Don't ignore these – see your dentist!
