Single Sitting Root Canal Treatment in patna

The term ‘root canal’ describes the cavity in the centre of a tooth root. The nerves and blood vessels are present within the root canal. Root canal is a treatment used to save a tooth that is decayed and infected, during which the nerves and pulpal tissues are removed and the canals inside the tooth are cleaned. If left without treatment, the tooth will become painful and pus may form. The nerves are not indispensably essential to a tooth’s functionality in the oral cavity. Its role is sensory that’s to provide the sensation to temperature (hot or cold). The absence of nerves doesn’t affect the normal functioning of the tooth in chewing food.

When does the nerves and pulp need to be removed from a tooth?

 

After a decay or caries, bacteria begin to grow and multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and decayed remains cause an infection or abscess. An abscess is a pus-filled area that forms at the apex/end of the tooth root. It may create further complications like:-

•    Swelling spreading to other areas of the face and neck.

•    Bone loss in the jaw around the infected tooth.

•    Drainage of pus through gums and cheek forming a sinus tract.
