What is a root canal treatment?

The root canal treatment it’s also called the orthodontic treatment, is a treatment that removes the dead wounded pulp from the center of the tooth. The center of the tooth is called the root canal system. The infection starts when bacteria lives in your mouth for a long time and then affect the tooth when the tooth starts to decay. The root canal treatment is when the orthodontist removes the bacteria from the root canal system, sometimes if the patient was lazy and took a long time to go to the orthodontist the bacteria would kill the root canal system, then the orthodontist would have to remove all of the pulp out of the tooth. The root canal treatment helps you keep your tooth and not to get an artificial tooth.

          The dentist that you go to, to do the root canal treatment is usually called an endodontist. An endodontist is a dentist who completed all years of college and specialty program in endodontics. Endodontist has a

specialty with the pulp and nerves in the teeth. If a child had a damaged tooth you would go to a pediatric dentist. This pediatric dentist is a dentist who took a couple of extra years of college.

What is the root canal procedure?

The root canal procedure starts by the endodontist numbs a part of the mouth. Then he places a sheet of rubber around the tooth to protect the tooth from the bacteria in your saliva. After that the dentist makes an opening in the tooth using a lot of instrument. The dentist removes the damaged nerves or pulp, and cleans the root canal system. At last the dentist fills and seal the tooth with either a temporary or a permanent filling. The tooth has two parts the crown, which is the visible part, and the root extends into the bone of the jaw, anchoring the tooth in position.
