Understanding Root Canal Treatment

When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscesses if left untreated. Root canal treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. This procedure helps save the tooth and avoid the need for extraction.

Types of Root Canal Treatments

1. Indirect Pulp Treatment
   • Removes most of the decay without affecting the pulp, applies an antibiotic, and seals the tooth.
2. Pulpotomy
   • Removes the damaged portion of the pulp, stabilizes the remaining healthy tissue, and disinfects and seals the tooth.
3. Pulpectomy
   • Removes all pulp tissue, disinfects the canals, and fills and seals them with a material that can be absorbed by the body as the permanent tooth erupts.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Pain Relief: Quickly alleviates pain and discomfort caused by infected or damaged pulp.
• Tooth Preservation: Keeps the natural tooth in place, which is important for proper chewing, speech, and alignment of permanent teeth.
• Prevents Further Issues: Reduces the risk of infection spreading to other teeth or areas of the mouth.
