What is Root Canal and why do I need it?
Root Canal treatment is a series of procedures that take out damaged or infected pulp within the root canals and the pulp chamber. The canals are cleaned, treated, and then filled up with an inert, biocompatible mixture that hardens and closes the canals. Teeth that have undergone this treatment become functional again.
Most times you would not know that a tooth has been infected. Pain can be slight or triggered only by certain factors – such as a cold drink or when you bit an apple with it. Sometimes swelling of the gums can barely be seen. You might not even notice that the tooth is slightly elevated from its socket. It can become worse, and if left untreated, you might lose the tooth and replace the space with an appliance. Moreover, the bacterial infection in that tooth can spread to the rest of your dentition
