What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment is the treatment of the tooth root. A root canal is the natural cavity within the roots of the tooth. It consists of pulp (nerves of the tooth). When there is a tooth decay, the pulp gets infected which is the source of pain. Sometimes, the infection spreads from the gums to the tooth and affects the pulp, which in turn causes pain. In either case a root canal treatment is suggested.

Who needs a root canal treatment?

Have you ever experienced the throbbing pain with swollen gums in a decayed tooth that you ignored for long time because it was not paining? A decayed tooth needs immediate dental visit otherwise the decay goes deeper causing excruciating pain and the inevitable trip to the dentist which usually turns out to be a root canal treatment case.

Yes, a root canal treatment weakens the tooth because the tooth has to be cut in order to get rid of the infected pulp. So, after root canal treatment, you should always get the crown done as soon as your dentist suggests it. The crown strengthens the tooth and resists any trauma. If you delay, it might lead to an unwanted breakage of your teeth.
