What is root canal treatment?
If bacteria has caused significant tooth decay, then a root canal may be required to save the tooth. Root canal treatment is a procedure in which the pulp system of a tooth is removed and a gutta purcha filling material is inserted in its place.
This procedure is most often done due to treat an abscessed tooth but also may be performed as a preventive or diagnostic procedure.
Recovering from root canal treatment
It is recommended that after a root canal treatment the patient refrains from eating hard or sugary foods and stops smoking while in recovery. Over the counter pain medication can be used to relieve any discomfort. Contact Dental Innovations in Wasilla, AK for more information on root canal treatment.
