Who is a candidate for a Root Canal?
If you have persistent pain, if you have heavy sensitivity to cold and hot temperatures, if the gum area of your teeth is swollen, if you present a chipped, cracked or have dark discoloration on your tooth and very deep decay, are all signs you might need this procedure.
Preparation
First you will need a consultation where an x-ray will most likely be taken to see the extent of your problem and if you need to have this procedure done.
The doctor will give you specific instructions on what to do 24 hrs before your procedure. They usually consist of not having any kind of alcoholic beverages and to avoid smoking, have healthy meals and take a pain relieving medication before the procedure usually ibuprofen.
Surgery Detailes
This procedure consists on drilling a hole into your damaged tooth to remove the pulp and nerves on the root of your tooth. This soft center in made of connective tissue nerves and blood supply that nourish your tooth. After the pulp is completely removed, the space left is filled and completely filled to avoid future infections.
This procedure can require to have 2 visits to the doctor depending on the severity of your case. After the treatment a crown can be recommended and most likely be placed as well to protect your tooth.
After Surgery
After your procedure, it is very important to keep your area clean. So your doctor will most likely prescribe you pain medication, antibiotics and an antibacterial mouthwash to keep germs and bacteria controlled. If during your visit a permanent crown is needed and not placed, you will need to avoid chewing any kind of food on the treated tooth until you have your permanent crown placed.
Home Recovery
Swelling and a little pain is expected. So pain relievers and antibiotics will be prescribed. Also an ice pack will help with swelling and pain reduction. A soft diet will also be recommended to avoid discomfort.
