What
is a root canal treatment? Root canal treatment means
the removing of damaged or dead pulp and filling the space left. The
remaining tooth can then be repaired. Why do I need root
canal treatment? A root filling may be
necessary if the nerve inside the tooth dies. This may be caused by dental
injury or tooth decay penetrating the
nerve. An abscess may develop. What are the risks
and complications? Root canal treatment has
about 90% success rate. Occasionally, a root canal treatment will fail
altogether, marked by a return of pain. In some cases, an apicectomy
might solve the problem. How is it done? There are different methods
for root canal treatments. In this practice we use the latest equipment and
technology and are specially trained for using machinery files to clean the roots.
What happens after
treatment? Natural tissue inflammation
may cause discomfort for a few days. A follow up review can monitor tissue
healing. From this point on, brush and floss regularly, avoid chewing
hard foods on the treated tooth and see us regularly.
