Make your Visit to your Dentist a memorable experience! Don’t let your cavities grow faster? Break it through by undergoing effective root canal treatment. Ouch! Comes to your mind or you may tend to feel panic whenever you hear the term “Root Canal Treatment” but you should know that getting treated by an expert dentist will make you no longer suffer from the endless pain throughout the treatment. 

For repairing and saving a tooth which is being badly decayed or becomes infected, root canal procedure treatment comes to the rescue. In the root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are separated and the inside of the tooth gets cleaned and sealed. If this treatment is not being performed, you may find the tissues enclosing the tooth becoming infected and formation of abscesses may take place. 

Root Canal is described as the occurrence of a natural cavity within the center of the tooth. The soft area within the root canal is termed as the pulp or pulp chamber. You may find the existence of the tooth’s nerve within the root canal. 

A tooth's nerve is not necessarily significant to a tooth's health and function after the tooth has emerged through the gums. Its only function is sensory -- for providing the sensation of hot or cold.

 As long as there is no sensation, the day-to-day functioning of the tooth remains intact. From the time, the nerve or soft tissue(pulp) starts experiencing the sensation, it gives you a signal of getting infected. It, then, becomes a duty of the dentist to separate the soft tissue positioned in the root canals, cleanse the area, and lastly, fill the canals with a particular material so as to prevent the bacteria’s re-entry into the tooth which can cause another infection. When the procedure of the endodontic treatment gets completed, the tooth is said to be “dead”. It secures quite enormous support from the surrounding tissues and may be expected to survive as long as compared to another natural tooth.   

The effective Root Canal Treatment by your Dentist in Northville determines step by step procedure as:

Step 1 : After the anesthetizes of the tooth, an opening is made through the crown into the pulp chamber.

Step 2 :  Determination of the length of the root canals by the dentist. 

Step 3 : Removal of Unhealthy pulp. Cleaning, Enlarging, and shaping of the Canals are performed by the dentist.

Step 4 : Canals are filled and sealed. The addition of a metal post is done for providing structural support or to maintain restorative materials.

Step 5 : Sealing of the tooth is done with a temporary filling. Normally a crown adds further protection.  

Counsel your mind for root canal treatments as they are meant to protect your tooth otherwise, you may have to encounter the tooth extraction procedure which may cause you irresistible pain if the decay becomes worst.
