What is another name for a root canal?

Another name for a root canal is endodontic therapy or endodontic treatment.

Certainly! A root canal, also known as endodontic therapy or treatment, is a dental procedure that involves treating the innermost part of a tooth, known as the dental pulp. The dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to tooth decay, trauma, or other factors, a root canal is performed to save the tooth.

During a root canal procedure, the dentist or endodontist removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth's root canals. The tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare it for filling. After the canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped, a biocompatible material called gutta-percha is placed into the canals to seal them off. This helps to prevent recontamination and further infection.

Following the root canal, the tooth may be restored with a dental crown or filling to provide protection and restore its function. The crown or filling helps to strengthen the tooth and prevent any potential fractures.

Root canals are typically performed to alleviate tooth pain, resolve dental infections, and save a tooth from extraction. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. It is important to seek timely treatment for dental issues that may require a root canal to prevent further complications and maintain oral health.

Why does a molar tooth still hurt two months after a root canal and could the nerve still be in the tooth?

Weird, I had this same problem recently. I had a root canal down and a few months later my tooth started hurting again. I was now going to a different dentist and he took out the filling and the previous dentist didn't fill my tooth right and my nerves were swollen so they had to cut the nerves and do a new root canal with a new filling. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. It is unusual that a tooth would hurt two months after a root canal, although it is not impossible. It might be that the restaurantion done on the tooth is too high, not letting the tooth heal correctly. There are always chances that there was an extra canal that wasn't seen by the operator. You can talk to your dentist about that possibility. He might suggest to wait 6 months.

Can a root canal cause slight loss of sensation in the face and extremeties as well as pain in the tooth and dripping after urination?

Should you use an antibiotic to get rid of bad taste in your mouth due to failed root canal?

How long does it take before you need a root canal?

One endotontist told me to hurry up before it got pus in it and the other told me to leave it alone and see if it settled down after the crown procedure. Quack!

It depends on the situation, sometimes if you already have an acute infection the dentist may give you some antibiotics to start reducing the infection before having the root canal done. Partially this is done because it is pus can interfere with the anesthetic making it harder to get the area numb. Other dentists will open the canal and allow the pus to drain out of the center of the tooth, this relieves the pressure and pain. If you don't have an acute infection then it is best to get it done a.s.a.p. before one occurs, the longer you let things go the worse the prognosis is for the tooth to be retained long term. -RDH

Root canal has to be performed if the dental nerve has died and/or is infected. You may have no pain but still need a root canal treatment. Most common reasons for root canal treatment are bad caries and tooth abrasion at the dentist.

If you just had a post and core done how long can you actually wait before having the crown done?

It's usually called a root canal and the post is to strengthen the tooth. The posts are usually used on eye teeth if the person has to wear partials. Once you have the root canal done (or post and core) the dentist will give it a little time to heal (the nerve is taken out and the canal rinsed out well) and wait for things to settle down and be sure you don't have any infection in this area. Your dentist should be able to complete this in 5 - 10 days depending on how busy he is.

My child is 7 years old has cavity in molar does she need a root canal?

Not likely, most dentists will just do a standard fill in with some kind of epoxy. STOP GIVING YOUR KID SUGARY FOODS! It contributes to some serious diseases like diabetes, and is a root cause of poor health in general.

-If the cavity has gotten into the nerve of the tooth then they do what is called a pulpotomy or a pulpectomy which is similar to an adult root canal only much simpler. If the cavity is small then they can fix it with a filling or sometimes a stainless steel crown since the tooth needs to last until she is 12-13 yrs old. Please be sure that you supervise tooth brushing and you can get "disclosing tablets" from a drug store or your dentist. Have her chew them, then brush until ALL of the color is gone. This will help improve plaque removal. Oh, and cut back on the soda, juice (even 100% real juice), and sticky sugary snacks.
