Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure that many patients undergo every year. This treatment can be beneficial for patients who are experiencing pain or inflammation in their teeth. By removing the infected or inflamed tissue from the root of the tooth, patients can often experience relief from their symptoms. In addition, root canal treatment can also help to preserve the health of the tooth and prevent it from needing to be extracted.
Who should get a root canal?
Root canal treatment is often recommended for patients who are experiencing symptoms such as pain, swelling or inflammation in their tooth. This procedure can also be used to treat cracked teeth that have exposed root tissue and teeth with deep cavities. If root canal therapy is not performed, the infection may spread throughout the mouth and lead to further complications. Some of these complications can include abscesses, which are painful infections at the root of a tooth; a spreading infection can eventually causes sepsis (infection in the blood), and in rare cases death if left untreated long enough.
