What Does Root Canal Therapy Entail?
Tooth pulp refers to the innermost layer of the tooth. Made up of blood vessels and nerves, the tooth pulp can become inflamed or infected as a result of severe tooth decay or injuries like chips and cracks.
Root canal therapy is performed to remove diseased tooth pulp without extracting the affected tooth, thereby preserving the patient’s smile. Here’s a brief overview of the procedure:
- The affected tooth and the surrounding gums are numbed to prevent discomfort.
- A small hole is made in the tooth to access the tooth pulp.
- The tooth pulp is carefully removed using tiny instruments.
- The interior of the tooth (the canal) is thoroughly cleansed and sanitized.
- The access hole is sealed, and a permanent crown is installed about two weeks after the procedure.
