If a tooth is damaged, severely decayed or has undergone multiple dental procedures, the interior of the tooth can become infected. The center, or root canal, contains the pulp and nerve root of the tooth. Trauma, decay, large fillings and other factors can irritate the nerve root, causing pain, infection and abscesses. This can endanger the health of the tooth and your health. Root canal therapy can remove the infected pulp and damaged nerve root to save the tooth and stop the pain.
-
When a tooth is infected or damaged within the interior root canal, it can be necessary to remove the infected pulp and nerve. During a root canal procedure, the endodontist removes the pulp and nerve within this interior chamber. Once disinfected, the tooth is repacked with sterile material and sealed. The tooth can be vulnerable to damage due to the weakened structure, so a dental crown is placed over the tooth for protection.

Root canal therapy has often been associated with pain, but it is not the procedure that is painful. The infection is what causes pain when it presses on the nerve in the center of the tooth. In truth, root canals are not painful; they stop the pain. The discomfort level is comparable to having a cavity filled. For those with dental anxiety during dental treatments, Pure Dental Health offers sedation dentistry options to help you relax while we perform your root canal.

Unfortunately, if you have an infected tooth that does not get treatment, it may need to be extracted.
