Some people may be surprised to learn that root canal treatment is virtually painless. For many years the conventional wisdom was that root canal treatment is a very painful event. This is in fact simply not the case. In truth, root canal therapy is a smart and effective solution to a common dental problem. It solves the issue of an infected, dead or injured tooth root. A long time ago there were few options when it came to dealing with a tooth that had a compromised root or root system. Today this is no longer the case.
Tooth Development During The Early Stages of Life
Root canal offers the option of removing the faulty root and replacing it with an inert material. Because the root of a tooth is primarily for tooth development during the early stages of life, it is really not needed as an adult. That said, once the root has been replaced the tooth will continue to function normally. The key benefit here is that the patient gets to keep his or her natural tooth. This is of major benefit because keeping a natural tooth is always preferred to having to replace a tooth.
A Smart Approach To Dental Health
In addition, by keeping the natural tooth in place, a patent has the advantage of maintaining better bone density or bone mass within the jaw. When bone mass is maintained, there is less chance that surrounding teeth will fall due to a lack of bone and gum tissue. So it becomes very obvious that root canal treatment is a smart approach to dental health. With years of proven performance, root canal is a great way to keep your smile looking perfect while also enjoying the best in dental functionality.
