Root canal therapy is a vital dental procedure aimed at addressing decay and infections within a compromised tooth. Root canal therapy is typically necessary when there is a crack, fracture, deep cavity, or an injury. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, bacteria, nerves and decay from inside the tooth in order to salvage the tooth and prevent an extraction. Once the infected area is removed, the resulting empty space is then filled with specialized medicated dental material, restoring the tooth’s functionality and appearance. Timely intervention is crucial as neglecting treatment can lead to severe complications like dental abscesses or even tooth loss. Contrary to common belief, extraction is not the only solution for problematic teeth; root canal therapy offers a way to preserve natural teeth effectively. It is not only a cost-effective option, but also boasts a high success rate, often lasting a lifetime. Occasional re-treatment may be necessary however, if new infections occur.
