Nothing looks feels or functions like your natural teeth. With the right care, your smile can last a lifetime. However, problems like decay, disease, or injury can threaten teeth and ruin smiles necessitating root canal treatment.
Thanks to Karen Dental clinic Nairobi, when this happens, your teeth can be saved.
One of the ways through which your teeth can be saved is through root canal treatment.
Do you experience sharp pain or sensitivity anytime you bite something? Whether too hot, too cold, or even normal temperature? Well, you may need a root canal procedure.
What is a root canal procedure?
It is a procedure used to repair or save a tooth from being badly decayed or infected. Let us explain it easily inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels.
If infected, you may need to have it fully extracted. However, since we still want you to have your smile, we opt for a root canal.
Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth.
When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.
How do I know that I need a root canal treatment?
There are a few signs that may indicate that you require a root canal.
- Severe pain while chewing or biting
- Pimples on the gums
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
- Swollen or tender gums
- Deep decay or darkening of the gums
