If you neglect your oral hygiene, the outermost section of your tooth (enamel) decays and eventually forms a cavity. Over time, the decay wears deeper into the tooth and eventually the pulp and blood vessels. Once it reaches the pulp, there is no other choice but to get a root canal treatment. Like the saying “better safe than sorry,” the sooner you get treated, it lessens the chances of becoming potentially severe.
Root canal treatment is an endodontic procedure performed when the dental pulp becomes damaged due to trauma, infection, inflammation, or deep decay. During the procedure, the affected pulp, bacteria, damaged nerves, and remaining decay are carefully removed to eliminate infection and create space for medicated filling materials.
This treatment helps restore the tooth’s strength, function, and overall health while preserving your natural smile. For more information about root canal treatment in Maple Ridge, contact the experienced team at PoCo Dental Group today.
A root canal treatment is a carefully performed dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been affected by infection, deep decay, or damage to the dental pulp. During the procedure, our dentist removes the infected pulp tissue, bacteria, and damaged areas from inside the tooth. The root canals are then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and prepared for sealing to prevent future infection.
After the tooth is sealed, it is restored to regain its strength, function, and appearance. At PoCo Dental Group, we use modern techniques and a patient-focused approach to ensure your root canal treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible. Our goal is to relieve your discomfort, preserve your natural tooth, and help maintain your long-term oral health.
Below-mentioned is the possible symptoms that you should not ignore. It can be a combination of either one of these symptoms.
A pimple on the gums
A chipped or fractured tooth
Teeth being sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks
When your toothache gets severe
Swelling or tenderness on the gums
Decay has reached the tooth pulp
Infection or abscess developed at the root tip
Trauma or injury to the tooth
Foul taste around the gums or tooth
If you experience these tell-tale signs, you should not ignore them. If overlooked can lead to discomfort and eventually a tooth extraction.
It depends on the patient’s situation. A dentist can diagnose the issue in one appointment or after a few visits. On occasion, a crown or a filling may be paired with a root canal. Sometimes, you have to wait for a short period to apply topical medication prescribed by the dentists to protect your mouth and tooth from harmful bacteria. Even after the filling, under certain circumstances, the tooth can still show weakness. If it is still weak, it must be reinforced in the form of a metal or fiber-reinforced resin post. The tooth is protected with a crown after the area is sealed. The material of the crown can range from gold to ceramic or alloy based on your personal preference and situation.
Root canals can be physically and mentally taxing. At PoCo Dental Group, we can provide you with top-class after-care treatment to reduce the pain with over-the-counter pain medications and other oral hygiene methods. There are rarely any complications after a root canal treatment; however, new infections can occur due to various reasons. Breakdown of the inner sealing material and undetected crack etc., are some of the post-treatment infections that may occur. It would be best to make frequent visits to your dentist after your root canal treatment to avoid future dental problems.
