Root Canal Therapy and Related Related Endodontic Procedures
Abstract
Once upon a time, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you'd probably lose
that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called a root canal therapy you may
save that tooth.
Inside each tooth is the pulp, which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth. It
runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp
tissue dies. If it is not removed, the tooth gets infected and one may lose it. After the
dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off for protection. Then the
dentist places a crown over the tooth to help make it stronger.
Most of the time, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no
discomfort involving one to three visits. Best of all, it can save a tooth and a smile!
