Tooth decay is a common problem that most people face, resulting in significant damage to the tooth. However, when this damage reaches the nerve, the pain becomes unbearable.
A root canal filling is a treatment that replaces the damaged part of the tooth with a durable material and replaces the inflamed and painful nerve with an artificial one.
This allows you to eat and drink normally. If not treated accurately and properly, the decay can lead to an abscess, which requires surgical intervention.
What are the steps involved in root canal treatment?
A root canal filling is performed through a series of steps that require greater precision for successful completion:
The area surrounding the tooth is numb using local anesthesia.
The decay is removed from the affected tooth using a small drill that precisely removes the decay. This takes only a few minutes, and the patient feels no discomfort as this step is performed under anesthesia.
A temporary filling is placed in the affected tooth once the decay is removed.
The nerve is replaced with an artificial nerve suitable for the tooth suffering from the decay.
After confirming the tooth's suitability for a filling, the temporary filling is replaced with a permanent filling.
A crown is placed over the tooth to protect it from erosion.
Complications of Not Treating a Root Canal
Leaving a tooth untreated after the nerve has become inflamed and relying solely on painkillers to relieve the pain may cause several complications, including:
Swelling and swelling in the tooth and face.
The jawbone may separate from the tip of the tooth root, leading to loosening.
Tooth loss may occur completely.
