Why Are Root Canals Important?

The͏͏ inner͏͏ tissue,͏͏ within͏͏ our͏͏ teeth͏͏ is͏͏ known͏͏ as͏͏ the͏͏ root͏͏ canal͏͏ system.͏͏ It͏͏ can͏͏ be͏͏ prone͏͏ to͏͏ injuries͏͏ or͏͏ infections͏͏ over͏͏ time,͏͏ leading͏͏ to͏͏ its͏͏ decay͏͏ or͏͏ loss,͏͏ and͏͏ in͏͏ some͏͏ instances,͏͏ it͏͏ necessitates͏͏ removing͏͏ damaged͏͏ tissue͏͏ and͏͏ substituting͏͏ it͏͏ with͏͏ protective͏͏ materials͏͏ to͏͏ prevent͏͏ future͏͏ harm͏͏ to͏͏ the͏͏ teeth,͏͏ effectively͏͏ treating͏͏ infections͏͏ or͏͏ damage͏͏ within͏͏ the͏͏ pulp.͏͏ Why͏͏ might͏͏ this͏͏ restoration͏͏ be͏͏ crucial͏͏ for͏͏ patients?͏͏​

• Long-Term Solution: A treated tooth can last a lifetime with the right maintenance.
• Cost-Effective Care: By preserving your natural tooth, you may be able to avoid the need for more expensive restorative procedures.
• Enhanced Oral Health: Designed to preserve overall dental and systemic well-being by eliminating infections.
• Loss Of A Tooth: The damaged tooth may be irreparable if treatment is not received.

Patients That Can Receive This Restoration

If͏͏ you're͏͏ dealing͏͏ with͏͏ toothaches͏͏ or͏͏ teeth͏͏ injuries͏͏ that͏͏ worsen͏͏ during͏͏ eating͏͏ or͏͏ biting͏͏ activities͏͏ a͏͏ root͏͏ canal͏͏ might͏͏ be͏͏ necessary.͏͏ Root͏͏ canal͏͏ treatment͏͏ could͏͏ be͏͏ advised͏͏ when͏͏ tooth͏͏ decay͏͏ reaches͏͏ the͏͏ pulp͏͏ layer.͏͏ It’s͏͏ an͏͏ option͏͏ for͏͏ individuals͏͏ who͏͏ still͏͏ feel͏͏ sensitivity͏͏ to͏͏ hot͏͏ or͏͏ cold͏͏ even͏͏ after͏͏ addressing͏͏ the͏͏ issue.͏͏ Gums͏͏ that͏͏ are͏͏ sensitive͏͏ or͏͏ swollen͏͏ near͏͏ a͏͏ tooth͏͏ could͏͏ indicate͏͏ the͏͏ need͏͏ for͏͏ root͏͏ canal͏͏ therapy.͏͏ Our͏͏ dentist͏͏ should͏͏ check͏͏ for͏͏ any͏͏ tooth͏͏ discolouration͏͏ or͏͏ darkening.͏͏ ͏͏

Advice For After Root Canal Therapy

• Preserve Your Dental Health: Until the treated area is completely healed, avoid brushing and flossing there.
• Eat Only Soft Foods: For a few days after treatment, consume foods that are soft and easy to chew. Until your final restoration is put in place, keep the temporary crown or filling protected.
