Root Canal

Just the thought of a root canal makes many people nervous. The truth of the matter is that a root canal can be the very best way to save a tooth that might otherwise be removed due to damage or decay. If you are suffering with pain and need to get relief, seeking the help of Michael Eisenbrock with Bensalem Adult Dentistry in Bensalem, Pennsylvania to discuss possible root canal could be the answer.

How a Root Canal Works
If you have a tooth that is decayed or damaged it is vital that the tooth be cleaned and freed from that decay in order to save it from further damage. This means removing the decayed area, removing the nerve below and cleaning out the inside of the tooth. The dentist will then seal the inside of the tooth to stop any further decaying and ensure that the tooth is strong enough. Removing the root or pulp of the tooth is not going to do any damage to the tooth because after adult teeth are formed and fully attached the pulp or root is no longer necessary. The tooth has become a part of the gums and jaw and do not need that root any longer.
