Root Canal Procedure – What You Should Know Before Getting ?

As a dentist I’ve done numerous root canals. Of all the procedures I do, this is the one that seems to strike fear in the heart of most patients.

Its goal is to remove the bacterial infection within the canals of the tooth and to preserve it’s integrity. Root canals need not be painful. The majority of the time the nerve is dead, so no pain should be felt, even without anesthetic. There are, however, times when pockets of live nerve may exist or an abscess is present. An abscess is a pocket of gas and pus that puts pressure on the tooth. Abscesses are uncomfortable and difficult to numb. Under these circumstances, some discomfort may be experienced. Invariably an experienced dentist may opt to put the patient on antibiotics first, reducing the abscess and its discomfort before starting the root canal procedure.

What is a Root Canal?

When you are told you need a root canal, it is generally because the nerve in your tooth has been damaged and is starting to die, or in some cases has slowly gone bad over time. This can happen due to decay in the tooth that has reached the nerve, or trauma from a blow to the tooth or in an accident where the tooth has been hit. Also sometimes a tooth can develop a crack that can reach the nerve and allow bacteria from your mouth to enter through the crack into the nerve and cause it to go bad. Many times there is pain, or sensitivity to hot or cold things during this degenerative process, but not always.
