Non-surgical root canal treatment sounds scary to many and is closely connected with many false presumptions. If you have other questions about the root canal treatment; feel free to browse my site. I frequently add more information about root canals from the perpective of my patients.

Delaying a root canal treatment is usually the chosen course for many people with damaged, infected or dead dental pulp. The dental pulp is the soft tissue contained in the pulp chamber at the centre of each tooth. This living pulp receives nutrients through the root canal(s) and is made up of nerve, blood vessels and connective tissue. We, at Root Canals Trinidad, wish to put all your concerns to rest. Truth is: the sooner you get a root canal specialist to diagnose the cause of your consistent tooth pain, the less complicated your root canal treatment can be.

Consistent tooth pain deserves proper diagnosis

Non-Surgical Root Canal Treatment  is performed to save teeth. Saving teeth prevents many unforeseen expences, and ensures better oral hygiene and quality of life in later years. The non-surgical treatment is simply to remove the traumatized, infected, or dead dental pulp. The pulp is replaced with a rubber-like material called gutta pulcher and sealed. After a few follow-up visits your dentist or endodontist (root canal specialist) will cap your tooth. This seals the roots.

Non-surgical root canal treatment can be performed by a general dentist. However, precision and care supported by dental operating microscopes, digital x-rays, track light monitors, painless anesthesia, and most importantly…frequency of root canal procedures is the main reason you should allow an endodontist to perform your non-surgical root canal treatment.

Non-surgical root canal or endodontic treatment is when the dentist or endodontist accesses the pulp chamber from the root. This maybe necessary when a root canal treatment was previously…(incomplete i.e. some bacteria or damaged tissue was left behind and is still causing pain)

After numbing the sensitivity of the area the endodontist makes an incision, shaves off the tip of the root or apex, cleans the infected tissue, fills the empty cavities and seals off the tip. This surgery is better known as apicoectomy.

Root canal treatment has a success rate of 85%. This non-surgical procedure is safely performed on incisors and premolars. If the treatment does not get rid of the infection tooth extraction will be the next step.

Root canal surgery vs non-surgical root canal treatment explained… Occasionally, a non-surgical root canal procedure alone cannot save your tooth and surgery will be necessary. Root canal surgery can be used to locate small fractures or hidden canals that weren’t detected on x-rays or during previous treatment. Surgery may also be needed to treat damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone of the tooth. There are many surgical procedures that can be performed to save a tooth. The most common is called an  apicoectomy . What is an Apicoectomy? Apicoectomy procedure: the endodontist or root canal specialist opens the gum tissue near the tooth to see the underlying bone and to remove any inflamed or infected tissue. The very end of the root is also removed and a small filling may be placed to seal the end of the root canal and few stitches or sutures are placed to help the tissue heal. Over a period of months, the bone heals around the end of the root. Endodontists are trai...
