Now many people are reluctant to go to the dentist when they have small problems with their teeth. When they can't endure toothache, they have to go to the hospital to see the doctor. Usually at this time, the dentist will tell you that the tooth has broken and needs further treatment. When you are still confused, the doctor will tell you that the dental pulp is damaged due to the delay of the tooth for too long, and root canal treatment is needed. Many people are unfamiliar with root canal therapy, but at present, root canal therapy is a very effective treatment program.

What is root canal therapy?

When the tooth is first decayed to form caries, it is relatively superficial. Generally, the tooth will not have any obvious feeling. It only needs to be filled. However, if it is not treated all the time, the bacteria will penetrate into the dental pulp and cause dental pulp inflammation, which will cause abnormal pain to the teeth. At this time, root canal therapy is needed instead of simply filling teeth. That is to cut the tooth surface, then kill the necrotic pulp nerve, and then inject anti-inflammatory drugs into the pulp nerve to achieve the therapeutic effect. This can avoid the effect of necrotic pulp nerve on other organs of the body to the greatest extent, and is a very effective treatment.

So, what are the benefits of root canal therapy?

1. Avoid tooth extraction

After root canal treatment, the risk of tooth loss due to caries can be prevented. If the tooth is necrotic and cannot be used, it will face tooth extraction, which is unfavorable to the teeth as a whole. After root canal treatment, the original teeth can be well preserved, and then the teeth will become as strong as the normal teeth.

2. Keep teeth intact

As mentioned earlier, because root canal therapy can avoid tooth extraction, it can well ensure the integrity of teeth. This will not have much impact on the whole tooth structure. Therefore, root canal therapy can prevent tooth dislocation and ensure the integrity of teeth to the greatest extent. In this way, we can avoid the probability of making false teeth. We should know that the cost of making false teeth is not low.

3. Repair teeth

As we all know, when the caries develops into deep caries, the tooth nerve has basically died, so there will be toothache. If root canal therapy is not carried out, the periodontal health will be affected after a long time, and the periodontal disease will come to you after a long time. After root canal treatment, the teeth are effectively treated, and the toothache is naturally cured. There is no inflammation at all, and the healing and recovery speed will be faster.

4. Avoid correction

Timely root canal treatment for tooth necrosis ensures that the teeth do not need to be extracted, so as to avoid tooth loss caused by tooth extraction. Tooth loss will affect the integrity of teeth, so it is necessary to do orthodontics, and then wear braces to maintain the integrity of teeth. Early root canal treatment can well avoid the risk of this area.

It's true that you won't feel much if you have a problem with your teeth at the beginning, but don't feel that your teeth don't hurt and don't affect your life. As long as there is a problem with the teeth, it will be a matter of time before the problem becomes serious. Don't delay, or you will lose more than you gain. Try to cooperate with the doctor's treatment to minimize the loss.
