In some cases, the tooth pulp is inflamed, irritated, or infected. This condition can be caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures, large fillings, or trauma to the face. The endodontist can then remove this infected tissue and clear the tooth of infection. After the root canal has been completed, the tooth is sealed with a temporary filling or crown.
Bacterial infection
The pain associated with a tooth requiring root canal treatment is often due to a bacterial infection. It is not recommended when the pain is so severe that you cannot function normally. In such cases, your dentist can perform a root canal treatment to save your teeth. The procedure is quick, and usually requires only one appointment. However, you should not be in severe pain, and it is best to get an opinion from a friend or family member who is familiar with the procedure or consult emergency dentistry.
Main reason
The main reason for root canal therapy is to remove a tooth that is infected or has severe decay. You should see a dentist if you experience severe pain. You should avoid chewing on pencils or opening packages. If the pain is unbearable, do not make any decisions under the influence. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the risks of tooth decay and prevent the need for root canal therapy.
