Root Canal Therapy is a dental treatment procedure for the impacted pulp of a decayed tooth that is meant to cause the quick removal of the congested tissue of an infected tooth and the eventual destruction of the root of the tooth. The pain of decayed teeth is often very excruciating, mainly if it is situated near the tooth's pulp. The removal of a decayed tooth stimulates the nerves in the gums area, causing them to secrete a liquid that is somewhat sticky and similar to the saliva of a human.

It is home to the dental pulp whose function is to keep the tooth alive. Inside the dental pulp are nerves and blood vessels that help with tooth growth and development.When the dental pulp gets infected or inflamed, root canal therapy is conducted. Bacteria buildup and tooth decay are common reasons for dental pulp inflammation. Traumatic incidents such as fractured or chipped tooth could also be among contributing factors.<h3>What Happens During Root Canal Therapy?</h3>During a root canal therapy, your dentist first numbs the affected tooth. Afterward, the crown is drilled to create an opening leading to the pulp chamber. The damaged pulp is removed.The next step is to prepare the canals for filling by rinsing the area with a disinfecting solution to kill any remaining bacteria. This permanent filling material helps protect the canal from further infection. Once the filling is applied, the tooth is then prepared for a crown.A crown at Rundle Dental&nbsp;can be done right in our office on the day of your root canal.
