ROOT CANAL IS THE OPTIMIZED METHOD TO HELP PROTECT TEETH CARRYING DAMAGED OR DEAD DENTAL PULPS WITHOUT REMOVAL.
Root Canal
Dental pulp is a small, fibrous tissue between teeth. The main cause of dental pulp damage is tooth decay or dental wounds. When not treated early, dental pulp damage leads to infection of the tooth root tip in the jawbone, creating abscesses. Abscess can destroy bone structure around the teeth and cause pain.
With advanced techniques, doctors will remove all infected or dead pulp tissues. Then, they clean the gaps and fill the pulp to protect the teeth from food problems and the chemical environment in the oral cavity.
When should dental pulp be treated?
All dental treatments are consulted and indicated by doctors, under the patients’ acceptance. When you face with one of the following problems, you should think about a need for your root canal treatment:
- Toothache with progressive worsening, affecting the head area, causing slightly wobbly teeth.
- Chipped teeth with large wounds
- Cavities affect exposing or pulpitis
- White pustules appear in the gums near the root of the teeth, indicating the infection must be removed.
The risk of tooth decay is still progressing daily in the oral cavity and threatens the tooth that has dental pulp treatment. Thus, all you need to do is to clean your teeth and to visit AMY dental center every 6 months for the best dental care.
