Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that involves the removal of infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. This procedure is usually performed when there is inflammation of the tooth pulp or when there is damage to the pulp as a result of trauma. During root canal treatment, the dentist removes the infected tissue and cleans the root canals, then fills them with a special material. With this procedure, the tooth can be saved and the need for extraction can be avoided.
When to go to the dentist?
Regular preventive visits will prevent the development of disease, and thus also the deepening of cavities. However, if irreversible damage to the pulp has occurred in the tooth, root canal treatment will be necessary. This may be indicated by pain, swollen gums, a change in the color of the tooth or gums, a deep cavity. In case of such symptoms, do not delay a visit to the dentist!
