Canal Treatment Endo
Getting to the Root of Endodontics
Â
Endodontics. From the Greek endo (inside) and odons (tooth). Inside the tooth. And what’s inside the tooth? Pulp, which contains the nerves, arteries and veins for each tooth, and tissue, which surrounds the root of the tooth.
Also synonymous with Endodontics is the term “root canalâ€. The term “root canal†seems to instill fear into the hearts of anyone that hears it from their dentist. But is that fear really all that necessary? Let’s break it down and see if all that fear is really warranted.
What is a Root Canal?
Teeth can have between one and four canals. If you looked at a side view of half a molar, you would see two canals – one on each side going up from the root to the top of the tooth. As noted, these canals are the pathways for the nerves, veins and other tissue that keep the tooth alive. A root canal becomes necessary when a tooth is damaged.
When is a Root Canal Needed?
A root canal is needed when a tooth becomes damaged due to decay or infection. If a cavity is not caught in time, the decay can move deep into the tooth and cause serious damage to the pulp and tissue. To prevent further problems to the already damaged tooth, or those surrounding it, the bad areas of the tooth need to be removed and repaired. The proper term for this procedure is endodontic therapy, but most people just call it a root canal.
What Happens During the Endodontic Therapy?
The procedure is pretty simple. After applying the requisite anesthetic to numb your mouth, the dentist removes the damaged part of the tooth as far down as necessary. Once all the damaged and contaminated elements are cleaned out, the tooth – now dead – is filled with a dental composite. This composite helps keep the tooth in place. A dental crown is then fitted and attached to the top of the tooth. The dental crown restores the stability and natural look of the tooth.
It is true that dental instruments, such as tiny drills and files, are used during this process. While you won’t feel any of the work being done on your teeth, the sounds or general knowledge of what’s happening may still be a problem for you. In those cases, many dentists now offer sedation dentistry, so you can sleep lightly through the entire process.
When broken down, Endodontic Therapy isn’t that big a deal, really. It is just a common procedure that helps improve your oral hygiene and allows you eat, drink and talk without pain again. Certainly nothing to be afraid of.

Why am I still having pain in tooth after treatment?
I had a crown put on a tooth about a year ago after it got chipped. Now, I just had to have and endo go into the crown and do a root canal. He said it was a 3 canal channel or something. And was real inflamed. The pain was intense for 2 weeks going into headaches. Then when that pain let up the tooth started to be sensitive again. When i push my tongue down on it or touch the gum area or try to tap on that tooth it is very sensitive. What else could be going on?
Could be several things. Infection could still be present because all of debris has not been removed or they may another canal present. Whatever the case contact your dentist, don't wait for it to go away.
