Root Canal Benefits

Root Canal Benefits

One of the biggestbenefits of root canal treatment is that it gets rid of pain and infection in the mouth. The root canal relieves pressure from inflammation in the pulp of the tooth and within a day or two after treatment, patients can get back to living their lives, without tooth pain. One thing people should understand is that root canal treatment is painless.

But some patients shy away from a root canal, fearing that it will be painful. The truth is, though, that most patients feel no pain during the procedure, and afterward, they walk away with their natural tooth still intact endodontic treatment allows patients to retain their natural smile and continue eating the foods they enjoy the most. With good dental hygiene, a root canal treatment can last a lifetime without issues.

Aesthetics are another important consideration for root canal patients. Teeth that have become infected may turn yellow, brown, or even black as a result of the bacterial build-up in the pulp of the tooth. This discoloration won’t respond to teeth whitening. But by crowning the tooth, patients can cover the discoloration and regain their natural smile.

 The final result of a root canal is a crown that not only looks like a natural tooth but also functions like a natural tooth as well. In fact, some of our patients at Esnan Dental Turkish Clinic say that after getting a crown, their tooth actually looks better than it did before it became infected. And patients who get the root canal done preserve their natural teeth,

 keeping their options open for the future in terms of dental implants or bridges. Because let’s face it, if you get rid of your natural teeth, you don’t ever have the option of getting them back, but dental implants are always an option if decaying or broken teeth simply can’t be repaired.

And finally, by treating the infection in the tooth through root canal treatment, your dentist can ensure that the infection won’t spread to the jawbone or even the brain. A number of major health issues throughout the body originate from dental issues so it’s important patients do not delay in getting root canal treatment for infected teeth. One of the biggest benefits of this procedure is that it takes care of the problem of infection expeditiously. Patients typically recover completely from the treatment within 24 to 48 hours.

So, before you decide against root canal treatment on the basis that it could be painful or that tooth extraction is a cheaper option, be aware that both of these statements are myths. Chances are if you have an infection in the pulp of your tooth, the quickest, most pain-free and most affordable option for you to fix the problem permanently is to get a root canal done as soon as possible.
