Non Surgically Prepared Root Canal
What Exactly is a Root Canal?
An estimated 14 million root canals are done each year in the United States. Dental implants or bridges may not be necessary if you use this therapy.
Your tooth's pulp is located in the middle. Dentin is built around the pulp, a cluster of blood vessels. Trauma to the tooth, extensive decay, chips, fractures, or recurrent dental operations may result in pulp infection. Infection symptoms include swelling or damage to the tooth, sensitivity to heat or cold, or pain in the tooth and gums.
What is the procedure for a root canal?
It is quite probable that your dentist will propose non-surgical pulp removal if you exhibit any of these symptoms. The damaged pulp is removed, and the root canal system is cleaned and sealed completely. Depending on the severity of the condition, one or more visits may be necessary to finish this therapy. Success with this sort of therapy happens in roughly 90% of the instances. Your dentist will tell you whether your tooth is ineligible for endodontic treatment or if the likelihood of success is low at the time of consultation or during or after treatment, depending on the situation. To alleviate pain, we provide a local anesthetic. After your treatment, you'll be able to drive yourself home and go back to your daily schedule with ease.
Are there any long-term effects?
Complications after conventional endodontic treatment or microsurgery are pretty infrequent in this population. However, if an issue does arise, we are always here to help. Continue to keep your teeth clean to avoid additional deterioration.
