If you experience persistent pain that is highly distressing and sensitivity in your teeth, this may be an indicator that there is a problem with the tooth roots, requiring Root Canal Treatment.

Sometimes, treatment can serve as an alternative to tooth extraction, allowing you to retain your tooth for life instead of removing and replacing it.

At El-Shenawy Dental Centers we understand the extent of pain caused by root problems, that’s why we have developed a specialized department for root canal treatment to relieve you from this pain.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Natural teeth consist of three layers: the outer enamel, the dentin layer, and the tooth nerve (pulp). Decay initially affects the enamel layer, which is typically painless.

When decay progresses and reaches the dentin layer then the nerve, it causes severe, often unbearable pain. In such cases, root canal treatment is necessary. This involves removing the decayed tissue, cleaning the pulp chamber and nerve canals, and filling the root canals with a specific material to replace the damaged nerves. Finally, a cosmetic crown is placed to restore the external appearance of the tooth.

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

The process of root treatment itself is not painful and can be completed in one or two sessions, depending on the extent of damage and nerve involvement as determined by the dentist.

Any discomfort following the treatment typically arises from pressure placed on the affected tooth or teeth during the treatment. However, these discomforts usually diminish within just one week after the procedure.

Is it mandatory to place a crown after Root Canal treatment?

Absolutely. Crowns are essential after root treatment because they protect the tooth from fracturing. Teeth tend to become somewhat weakened after root canal procedures.

placing crowns helps to ensure that the root canal fillings last longer. Crowns typically last between 5 to 15 years.

What Are the Signs That Decay Has Reached the Nerve and Requires Immediate Treatment?

Some symptoms can indicate decay has reached the nerve and requires prompt attention. The most notable is experiencing pain when consuming cold foods or drinks, which can be sharp and intense enough to wake you up.

Additionally, inflammation, swelling, or abscess may appear. In such cases, antibiotics prescribed by your dentist may be necessary depending on the severity of the condition.

Can Root Canal Treatment Fail?

In the past, treatment failure could occur due to the complexity of reaching and filling the narrow root canals. However, recently in most cases, treatment is successful, especially with advancements in technology that allow for highly professional nerve-filling procedures today. At El-Shenawy Dental Centers, we rely on the latest technological methods for treating and filling nerves.
