Few words are as scary as the words root canal. Just the mention of those 2 words can make a patient turn white and break out into a cold sweat. In reality however, root canals should not be that terrifying. With all the anesthetic techniques available today there is no reason that a root canal should cause any pain or discomfort. In fact when people are suffering from a toothache once they complete the root canal treatment they are amazed at how much better their tooth feels.
A few words about root canals. First , a root canal does not remove the root. Instead a root canal removes the tissue that is contained in the canal in the middle of the root. Sometimes this tissue is made of nerve and blood tissue other times it is made of necrotic or dead tissue. In either case the goal of a root canal is to clean the canal and then fill and seal the canal. This will allow the tooth to remain and function like any other tooth rather than be removed. Most root canal teeth do require crowns to protect them once the root canal is completed. Root canals are usually performed in a single visit but sometime they do require 2 or more visits to ensure successful results. Root canals have a very high success rate but like anything else they can fail from time to time. Sometimes a failed root canal can be fixed by having a second procedure done but sometimes the tooth must be removed. Despite this root canal is a vital part of dentistry and no one should elect to just have a tooth pulled because they are afraid to get a root canal.
