A lot of people have heard of root canals, but not many know exactly what one is. In fact, a lot of people are left a little bit confused when they’re told that they need a root canal. Luckily, it’s a very straightforward procedure. When the root of a tooth becomes damaged, it can become infected. A root canal involves removing the damaged and infected area around a tooth; this is done by cleaning, shaping, filling and sealing the tooth.
Though some people manage to get through life without needing a root canal, many don’t. If you suffer damage to the root of a tooth, it could become infected and this can lead to severe pain. A damaged root can cause tooth sensitivity, swelling around the tooth, loss of bone around the root and abscesses; all of these problems are painful and can hinder the use of your teeth in a big way. This pain will not go away on its own and a root canal is often necessary.
If you are experiencing any pain around the root of a tooth, it’s time to seek the help of a dental professional. Though it could be a minor problem that’s easy to solve, it’s best to have it looked at as soon as possible. This way, treatment can be given and a root canal can be scheduled if necessary.
