Root canal treatment

It is the process of removing tissue in the tooth cavity and root canal that is infected and inflamed, along with cleaning the root canal to make it free of germs. Then the root canal is filled and the tooth is restored to make it strong and beautiful so that it can be used normally.

cause :

Teeth that need root canal treatment are teeth that are deeply decayed and penetrate the nerve cavity. Teeth that are cracked, broken, or worn to the point of penetrating the nerve cavity and teeth that have been impacted by accidents. All of this allows germs to enter the tooth pulp and cause infection of the tissues in the tooth pulp.

Symptom :

There will be toothaches that occur on their own. The pain may come and go or be so intense that you can’t sleep and wake up due to severe toothache, sensitivity when drinking hot or cold things, feeling pain in your teeth when chewing food. Sometimes it may be found that the teeth are discolored, dark, or have swollen gums, pustules, or swelling around the face.

Method of treatment :

Treatment steps begin by inserting anesthetic. Put on a waterproof rubber sheet. The tooth is then ground to open the entrance to the nerve cavity. Remove infected tissue with a small tool and clean the root canal with a solution that has a disinfectant effect. Then put disinfectant in the root canal, when a tooth has symptoms, a root canal is usually filled to close the space, so that germs cannot come back and take up residence again. It usually takes about 2-3 treatments, depending on the difficulty and the infection condition of each tooth. In some cases this may be possible.
