Root Canal | When Needed and What are the Benefits?

 Root canal therapy (or endodontics) involves removing infected mash from the innermost part of the tooth. This keeps the infection from spreading and can assist with saving a tooth that may otherwise have to be extracted.

Root canal treatment is needed when dental X-rays show that the mash has been damaged by a bacterial infection. The mash may become inflamed assuming that it's infected by bacteria, allowing the bacteria to increase and spread. The side effects of a mash infection include: pain when eating or drinking hot or cold food and drink.

The mash is made up of delicate tissue, including nerves and veins, and stretches out from the crown to the tips of the root. The mash can become infected because of decay, a profound filling or trauma to the tooth. Side effects can include pain, increased aversion to temperature, discolouration, a metallic taste, gum delicacy or swelling.
