Exploring the Benefits and Types of Root Canal Therapy
At All Smiles Dentistry in Miami, FL, under the expert care of Dr. Bianca Gonzalez, we understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth. Root canal therapy is a crucial procedure that allows us to save severely damaged or infected teeth, providing relief from pain and restoring oral health.
 
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure performed to treat the innermost part of the tooth, known as the pulp. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue and can become infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or trauma. During a root canal, the infected or inflamed pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.
 
Functions of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy serves several essential functions:
 
  1. Relief from Pain: Infected or inflamed pulp can cause severe tooth pain. Root canal therapy alleviates this pain by removing the source of infection or inflammation.
  2. Preservation of Natural Teeth: Rather than extracting a severely damaged or infected tooth, root canal therapy allows us to save the natural tooth structure, maintaining chewing function and preserving the appearance of your smile.
  3. Prevention of Infection Spread: By removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth, root canal therapy prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues, safeguarding your overall oral health.
 
Types of Root Canal Therapy
There are two main types of root canal therapy:
 
  1. Conventional Root Canal: This involves the removal of infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth’s root canal system and sealing it with a filling material.
  2. Endodontic Surgery: In cases of complex anatomy or persistent infection, endodontic surgery, such as apicoectomy or root-end resection, may be necessary to remove the infection and seal the root canal.
