Mercerville Root Canal
Your dentist will perform a root canal when your tooth has suffered irreversible damage to the nerve. Underneath the biting surface of your tooth are core tissues, referred to as the dental pulp. Dental pulp plays an important role in carrying nutrients to your tooth when it is first growing and developing, however, once a tooth is fully matured, it no longer requires dental pulp to remain function. When your tooth is fractured or decayed, bacteria can seep in and infect the dental pulp. Increased blood flow to the infected tooth pulp causes a buildup of pressure, which can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling and fever. Your dentist will remove the dead or damaged tooth pulp, clean and shape the pulp chamber, then fill the tooth with inert biocompatible materials to prevent any subsequent reinfection.
Mercerville Root canal therapy is ninety-five percent successful in treating tooth infections and injuries, and a tooth that has been treated with a root canal can remain functional throughout your life. Your dentist may recommend a dental crown to restore your tooth after it has been treated with a root canal.
