Why are root canals performed?
Root canal treatment is performed to save your tooth from being extracted. Before, when you had a toothache, the immediate treatment for this was getting your tooth pulled. That meant you had to get dentures. When you get a cavity and you don’t get it restored, it will continuously get bigger and go deeper into your tooth. This will continue until it reaches or is near the nerve of your tooth and give you extreme pain and cause infection. Root canal treatment will cure you.
Root canal is a necessary treatment if you have a cavity which has reached to the root of the tooth and causing the severe pain and sensitivity. In this treatment, first it is necessary to remove bacteria, nerve tissue, the organic debris and bacterial toxins inside the tooth. Then root canal material is filled inside the tooth. And afterwards crowning is done if necessary.
