Luckily, there are many inaccuracies and rumors about what a root canal involves and this article will provide some things that you should know about having a root canal done.</p>
<p><span>What a <a href="http://reservedentalgroup.com/boca-raton-dentist-services/boca-raton-root-canal-specialist"><strong>root canal</strong></a> involves is the severing of a nerve in your tooth after the tooth has died or is in the process of dying. What typically happens is the following. The enamel on your tooth is eaten away due to poor brushing and plaque buildup. Once this enamel has disappeared, your tooth is exposed and the surface is slowly worn down by tooth decay. Eventually, the nerve is exposed once the tooth is eaten away. Once your nerve is exposed you will experience sharp tooth pain in your mouth that can be quite painful. It is then that a root canal is usually pursued by the individual suffering the tooth pain.</span></p>
<p><span>When a root canal is performed, the dentist will sever the nerve. Once the nerve is severed you will feel no pain in the tooth as the nerve is the pain sensor and is now dead. As a result, you will experience more pain in your tooth before you have a root canal than while the procedure is going on. As you will have a local sedative during the process, a root canal is a relatively painless procedure. The negative stigma associated with a root canal is associated with years past, before anesthetics were available for use and the procedure was quite painful as you could imagine.</span></p>
<p><span>Once the nerve is severed the hole is filled and a cap is put on the tooth. This cap prevents further tooth rot and protects your tooth from substances entering your tooth and leading to other plaque build up. When a root canal is performed, you will often have a follow up procedure to make sure the tooth is well-protected and that you aren’t experiencing pain. Since a root canal is a routine procedure there are some dentists who specialize solely on this procedure.</span></p>
