What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that is used to treat a tooth that has become infected or decayed in the pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth. During the procedure, we will remove the damaged pulp, clean the area, and then fill it with a special material to prevent further infection. A root canal can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted, and it can relieve the pain and discomfort caused by a tooth infection. While it may sound intimidating, the procedure is actually quite common and can be performed with minimal discomfort thanks to modern dental techniques and anesthesia.
There are several common reasons why a person may need a root canal. The most common reason is a deep cavity that has reached the pulp of the tooth. Other reasons include cracked or broken teeth, trauma or injury to the tooth, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or gum disease that has caused an infection in the root of the tooth. If you are experiencing any of these issues, it is important to visit Kind Dental as soon as possible to determine if a root canal is necessary.
Root Canal Post-Care
After a root canal, it is important to take care of the treated tooth to prevent any further damage or infection. You may experience some tenderness and sensitivity for a few days after the procedure. It is recommended that you avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the treated tooth until it is fully restored with a permanent filling or crown. You should also maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash to prevent any further infection. Be sure to attend any follow-up appointments with your Kind Dental professional to ensure that your tooth is healing properly. If you experience any severe pain or swelling, contact us immediately.
