What is the Root Canal and Root Canal Treatment
 
 
 

• A conversation can easily turn sour when someone
  mentions the term root canal. Many people cringe
  at the thought of their friends and family
  needing one and are outright scared if they need
  it. With the recent advances in technology
  however, root canals are actually not unpleasant
  at all. In fact, as long as you're receiving care
  from a qualified dentist, the only twinge of Pain
  you'll feel are from those blessed Novocain
  injections. Read on for a basic guide to how the
  process works and you will have a relatively
  clear idea as to what's happening to your
  tooth.root cannal treatment california

Benefit of Root Canal Treatment

• What is a root canal?
•  
• This treatment consists of the dentist drilling a
  hole through the chewing surface of your tooth to
  reach the nerve inside the tooth which is
  referred to as the pulp. The pulp extends down
  the tooth's root and must be removed so that
  infection can be cured or prevented. Thin metal
  wires are inserted into the tooth down to the
  base of the root canal and the pulp is extracted.
  This prevents it from getting irritated in the
  future and causing pain which can result from an
  infection, chewing or sensitivity to hot and cold
  food and drinks.tooth extractions
•  
• Once the pulp is removed, most dentists will fill
  the canals with a rubbery gel, effectively
  sealing it off. This step will prevent bacteria
  from making it back into the cavity and causing
  future problems for the patient. The chewing
  surface is then replaced with a temporary filling
  which remains for at least two weeks before a
  permanent filling or a crown is put in.best teeth

Advantage of Root Canal Treatment

• What's the process like?
•  
• When you first sit down in the chair for the
  procedure, the dentist will typically give you a
  brief overview of what the process consists of.
  Next, the areas where the Novocain will be
  injected are rubbed with topical gel that lightly
  numbs the space where the need will be injected.
  Then the shots are given, usually between 2-4
  injections, and you'll be left to wait a few
  minutes while the anesthetic works its magic.
  After about 15 minutes, the doctor will return
  and begin working.dental oral surgery
• The dentist must reach the root in order to
  extract the pulp from the canal. This step
  entails a fair amount of drilling. Most dentists
  will use what's called a "parachute," a rubber
  disk with a whole in the center that fits snugly
  over your tooth to isolate it. This prevents any
  stray bits of tooth from going down your throat.
  Once the drilling starts, it should be completely
  painless with the Novocain numbing the area. When
  the pulp is exposed the doctor will use several
  different colored rods to determine the depth of
  the canal and then extract the pulp. If the
  procedure is being done on a molar, there will be
  multiple canals due to it being a bigger tooth.
  An incisor would typically only have a single
  canal from which to remove the pulp.Teeth

How to Use of Root Canal Treatment

•  

• With the canal cleared out, the dentist will then
  inject a rubbery filling into the canals as
  mentioned above, which protects the tooth from
  future infection. Then a temporary filling will
  be placed over the root canals which will quickly
  set and serve as a chewing surface until the
  crown or filling is put on a couple of weeks
  afterward. The whole process will take anywhere
  from 1-2 hours depending on the tooth and number
  of canals.,victorville dental center Recovery

•  
• Most patients will stay numb for 2-4 hours after
  the procedure. Your dentist may advise you to
  take ibuprofen before the numbing wears off so
  that the soreness does not become too bothersome.
  While the nerve from the inside of the tooth has
  been removed, the nerves on the outside of the
  tooth remain this keeps the tooth alive. This is
  the reason you will experience some soreness for
  several days afterwards and probably want to
  avoid chewing directly on the tooth during this
  time. You will also likely be advised to refrain
  from eating anything hard if you accidentally
  bit down on something hard, the tooth in question
  could actually crack since it hasn't been
  permanently repaired yet.bevery hills dental
