Your teeth have roots that consist of nerves and blood vessels. The inner, living part of a tooth is called the pulp. A root canal treatment, or nerve treatment, is necessary when there is inflammation in the pulp. In that case, the pulp is removed and the root canals are filed, cleaned and filled. In addition, a root canal treatment can be useful as additional support for a crown or bridge.
Initially, x-rays are taken to see how the roots run. A root canal treatment will almost always be performed under local anesthesia.
A rubber dam covers the tooth or molar so that it remains clean during the procedure. The root canals can be reached through a small hole. The root canals are filed more generously, rinsed, cleaned and filled. The tooth or molar is closed with a permanent filling or crown to prevent bacteria from entering. Due to the duration of the treatment, a root canal treatment is often performed in two appointments.
In short, if you have pain due to inflammation in your tooth or need extra strengthening, a root canal treatment at Aesthetic Beauty Center is the solution. This ensures that your tooth or molar lasts much longer and that you can eat and drink again without pain or discomfort.
