  1. Measures to Take During and After Your Root Canal Treatment

  2. An estimated 3.5 million Americans suffer from oral diseases and conditions.

  3. Among these Americans, dentists perform 1.5 million root canals every year.

  4. A root canal, medically known as endodontic treatment, is an oral procedure designed to remove bacteria.

  5. The infected pulp of a tooth is removed and then the inside of the affected tooth is thoroughly cleaned & disinfected.

  6. How do I know if I need a root canal?

  7. When one begins suffering from oral diseases they will exhibit several symptoms.

  8.

  9. The root canal procedure

  10. If you & your dentist have determined that you are in need of a root canal, they will set up an appointment date.

  11. At the start of the procedure, the dentist or hygienist will inject you with an anesthetic for numbing purposes.

  12. Root canal treatment is often referred to as being similar to getting a filling.

  13. After the anesthesia, your dentist will begin cleaning out the infection & bacteria from the affected tooth.

  14. Once the tooth has been cleaned, your dentist will fill the tooth and seal it off with a crown. This is done to prevent the reinfection of the tooth and to protect the filling within the tooth.

  15. What to expect after a root canal treatment

  16. It is recommended that patients eat soft foods after the procedure if they feel discomfort in eating regular solid food. Ensuring proper dental hygiene after a root canal treatment is imperative in an effort to prevent reinfection. Pain can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication.
