(Root Canal)
A root canal is the cleaning
out the inside nerve of a tooth and replacing it
with a material that seals the inside of the root
so infection cannot get back in.
A root canal treatment first removes bacteria, nerve tissue, the organic debris
left over from the breakdown of nerve tissue, and bacterial toxins out from within
the inner aspects of a tooth (the area originally occupied by the tooth's nerve
tissue).
All of these items either are or will produce the tissue irritants that can cause
your body to activate an inflammatory reaction. Once this space has been cleansed,
root canal treatment involves filling in and sealing off the interior of the
tooth, so bacteria can't get back in.
Root canal treatment has three main purposes:
 |
stop
the toothache |
|
prevent
bacteria and pain from spreading into the jaw |
|
maintain
the original tooth instead of replacing it
with a denture or bridge |
