Root Canal Treatment to Save your Natural Tooth
Root canal treatment to relieve pain and treats dental infection
Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp (the soft tissue inside the root canal) becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: Deep decay, crack or fracture of the tooth. In addition, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
You may require a root canal treatment if you have one or more of the following conditions:
- Severe pain in the tooth
- Tooth crack or fracture up to the pulp level
- Severe untreatable hypersensitivity to hot or cold
- Tooth abscess
- Deep decay affecting the pulp
- Loss of pulp vitality (dead pulp)
