ROOT CANAL THERAPY (RTC)?

Primarily it is a means of saving a tooth by the removal of the pulp that is found inside every tooth. Pulp is the term for all the tissues inside the canal, i.e. nerves, arteries and veins. After the pulp has been removed, the tooth can no longer react to its environment and no longer trouble you. The huge advantage of Root Canal Therapy is that it gives a tooth a second life  an alternative to an extraction.

Root Canal Therapy includes the procedure of filling up the now empty canals that remain after removal of the pulp with special sealants and fillers. It is a tricky procedure and sometimes may take numerous appointments to complete

WHY SHOULD A TOOTH NEVER BE REMOVED?

Tooth fracture or dental decay has exposed the nerve itself.

The nerve is hypersensitive due to the exposed root surfaces or a prior dental procedure. 

The nerve has died (a dead nerve will result in the formation of an abscess if it is not removed.) Any bacteria that accumulate in the close pulp chamber or root system will eventually destroy tissues and lead to the formation of liquid (pus). The pus, together with rising pressure inside this close chamber can lead to intense pain and swelling that typically represent a tooth abscess. Very often NO PAIN is present during the development of a chronic abscess.

The only way to remove dead/infected pulp, is to use a series of small files.

AFTER THE NERVE HAS BEEN REMOVED
Discoloration is likely to occur later, but bleaching and crowning are good options to restore the color to its original state. In the long run the tooth becomes more susceptible to fracture and it is advisable to strengthen the tooth with some form of restoration, usually a crown

DENTAL IMPLANTS

DENTAL IMPLANTS - THE IDEAL SOLUTION
Dental Implants caused a revolutionary change in dentistry.  Dental Implants are man-made replacements for tooth roots that have been lost.  They behave exactly like real roots - even bonding naturally with the jaw bone. (Osseo integration)
The new ceramic white tooth (crown) is then bonded on top of the Dental Implant.  Today, millions of people enjoy the benefits of having implants.  This simple surgery will restore your confidence and transform your life!
