It is known that tooth decay affects the outer layer of enamel causing necrosis to move to the dentin layer. If the problem is not addressed appropriately, this will cause a serious Dental issue that threatens tooth wear, damaging the nerves, and causing inflammation; consequently, the patient will suffer teeth severe pain, however, some of the known solutions are tooth extraction or treatment. Still, there are more solutions to consider, such as endodontic services or treatment which will be discussed in the following article.
Endodontic Services
Endodontic Treatment
It is a root canal treatment in which the tooth pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and filled which ensures treating and restoring the tooth roots; a treatment that let the patient avoid losing the tooth. By this treatment, teeth vital functions, such as chewing, are properly maintained along with obtaining the desired oral aesthetic appearance.
Endodontic Services ,How Is Performed?
This endodontic microsurgery starts with performing an appropriate oral diagnosis, accompanied with X-rays, checking the exact position of the affected tooth, and then removing the decay, drilling a hole into in the crown of the tooth for local anesthesia followed by removing the damaged nerve or pulp and cleaning the root canal. Later the procedure involves filling it with permanent filling that replaces the damaged nerve.
Is the Tooth Still Alive?
The endodontic treatment is applied to the pulp of the tooth .i.e. its inner structure that contains the blood vessels which nourish the tooth. It also has the nerve endings responsible for feeling pain, heat, and touch. The structure also has lymphatic tissues. When this procedure is performed, the whole pulp is removed due to its damage and inflammation and replaced by a filling of the root canal. In fact, this treatment does not cause the tooth to fall directly, so the goal of performing it is treating and preserving the tooth as long as possible.
Dental Dressing Phase
Having the pulp removed during treatment means removing its nerve endings and blood vessels resulting in having a less strong tooth which becomes more vulnerable to fracture; therefore, dentists recommend a dressing of the tooth or the installation of a crown since it helps to strengthen and protect it.
In conclusion, it is worth mentioning that several endodontic services are available at Healing Clinic along with having emergency endodontists and pediatric endodontists whenever needed, so don’t hesitate to visit us.
