How a Root Canal Helps Eliminate Pain

By DeClerck Family Dental
May 02, 2016
Category: Dental Procedures
Tags: Root Canals  

When a tooth becomes infected with decay, the only option your dentist has is to remove the diseased decay. This happens one of two root canalways: a root canal or a tooth extraction. Since it is always better and more simple to preserve the natural tooth, root canal therapy is a vital part of keeping your mouth healthy for a lifetime. Learn more about root canal therapy with help from your Findlay, OH dentist.

When is a root canal necessary? 
Root canal therapy is recommended when a tooth’s nerve becomes damaged or infected. This occurs most often due to decay eating through the tooth into it’s inner chamber or trauma to the tooth. The damaged nerve is what causes a toothache, one of the main signs you may need a root canal.

How does a root canal eliminate tooth pain? 
During a root canal, your Findlay dentist removes the inflamed or infected pulp and nerve from the inside of the tooth. The inner tooth is cleaned out and disinfected, then filled with materials and sealed to prevent further infection. A porcelain dental crown fits on top of the tooth to stabilize and protect it from everyday use. The tooth’s pulp is important while the tooth is growing, but becomes unnecessary during adulthood. This allows your dentist to remove it while preserving the tooth. With the tooth’s nerve no longer present, the pain from a toothache is no longer felt.

How can I avoid needing a root canal? 
The best way to avoid the tooth decay which results in a root canal is a strong at-home oral care routine. Brushing twice daily knocks away food particles, plaque and bacteria from the teeth. Flossing at least once daily reaches the areas of the teeth which a toothbrush cannot. Your dentist also plays a large role in keeping your teeth healthy. Be sure to see your dentist for regular dental examinations and cleanings twice a year to fight against tooth decay and gum disease.
