Root Canal Procedure

When Would I Need Root Canal Therapy?
You would need root canal therapy if bacteria naturally found in your mouth can enter your dental pulp, causing inflammation, a condition called pulpitis. An inflamed pulp becomes swollen, increasing pressure inside the pulp chamber and causing a painful toothache.

Sometimes, trauma can cause tooth pain. If you take a blow to the mouth, it can inflame the pulp, causing it to become swollen and painful.

How Can Bacteria Enter a Tooth?
Bacteria can penetrate the innermost part of your tooth in a couple of ways.

Bacteria can enter the tooth if you have an untreated cavity or a filling that has failed or crumbled away.
If your tooth is damaged or cracked, bacteria can soon penetrate the tooth. Even a small crack in a tooth can open up when you bite down, allowing bacteria to enter.
