A root canal procedure, often simply referred to as a root canal, is a treatment for patients who have an unhealthy tooth. This can occur due to deep tooth decay, tooth chips or cracks, or repeated procedures done on a tooth. If a patient has experienced or is experiencing any of these issues, and if the tissue inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal might become necessary. Some of the other symptoms to look out for are tooth pain, sensitivity, tenderness, or discoloration. Lymph node tenderness or gum swelling can occur too. It’s important to have these issues identified, interpreted, and treated by a professional, like a root canal specialist. If the issues with the tooth go untreated, then they can become more serious and even result in a tooth abscess. And if this occurs, then the tooth might become too damaged to easily repair. To prevent any serious complications like that, a root canal is necessary. During a root canal, the doctor will remove any unhealthy tissue inside the tooth. This will prevent serious complications from occurring, and afterwards, the tooth will become healthier because it will find nourishment from surrounding, healthier tissues. The patient will be left with a healthier tooth and a healthier bite.
