Creating a Permanent Image using Root Canals

Often, root canal therapy or extraction of the tooth are the only alternatives for treating a severely infected tooth. Since a root canal is the sole option to save a tooth, it is usually the better option. The last resort treatment is extractions.

The process of a root canal involves the dentist creating a tiny hole in the tooth and extracting the tiny blood vessels and nerves inside the root (s). After that, the roots are filled with an inert substance, cleaned, and shaped.

Even though root canals are the most feared dental operation (mostly because of false impressions created by residual legends about antiquated treatment methods), they can now be done with little discomfort. Ninety percent of patients report no subsequent issues following the treatment, which is indicative of a high success rate.

There are still choices available in the very uncommon event that a root canal fails. The root canal procedure can often be redone. An apicoectomy is a treatment that can be carried out if this isn’t feasible. An apicoectomy involves the removal of the root’s tip and then placing a filling over the severed root tip. It can be necessary to extract the tooth if these remedies don’t work.

Please keep in mind, nevertheless, that root canal therapy nowadays is incredibly safe and successful. In addition, fresh methods keep improving the already high success rate.
