When tooth decay progresses deeply enough to reach the pulp, bacteria can cause inflammation and infection inside the tooth.
In other cases, a crack, injury or repeated dental procedures may affect the pulp even when the outside of the tooth appears relatively intact.
At AVMSmiles Rajakilpakkam, the first step is diagnosis. Your dentist examines the tooth and reviews X-rays to understand whether the pulp and surrounding tissues are affected.
If root canal treatment is appropriate, access is created through the tooth so the infected or inflamed tissue can be removed. The canals inside the roots are then cleaned, shaped and disinfected.
After cleaning, the root canal system is sealed to reduce the risk of bacteria entering the cleaned space again.
The treated tooth must then be restored. The type of restoration depends on the tooth and how much healthy structure remains. A crown may be recommended when additional protection is required.
Root canal treatment allows many compromised teeth to remain functional instead of being immediately removed. However, every tooth must be evaluated individually because severe fractures, inadequate tooth structure or other conditions may affect whether the tooth can be retained.
Persistent pain, swelling or difficulty chewing should therefore be assessed rather than managed repeatedly with temporary pain relief.
