During root canal treatment, what did the doctor's drill wear away?

I don’t know if any of you have had such an experience.

I woke up at three o'clock in the middle of the night with a toothache. My face was swollen like baby fat.

I searched all over the world for medicine. If I couldn't find it, I wanted to knock my teeth out with a stone.

This condition is mostly caused by pulpitis caused by tooth decay

It’s time for you to learn about root canal treatment

To put it simply, our teeth can be described in one word, which is "hard on the outside and soft on the inside". The dental nerve is responsible for the tooth's pain sensation, 

and the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels provide nutrition for the tooth.

Therefore, people's dental pulp is located in the hard tissue of the tooth. Once the dental pulp becomes inflamed, the pressure in the root canal increases sharply. 

When it develops to a certain extent, the patient will feel unbearable pain.

At this time, it is basically impossible to eliminate the inflammation through drugs and other means. In order to relieve the patient's symptoms, clean the diseased pulp 

and prevent the further development of infection, it is necessary to extract the pulp nerve and perform root canal treatment.

Root canal treatment is currently the most effective and commonly used means to treat pulp disease and periapical disease. It removes the inflammatory pulp and necrotic 

material in the root canal, conducts appropriate disinfection, and fills the root canal to control infection, The purpose is to repair defects, prevent the occurrence of periapical

 lesions or promote the healing of periapical lesions. It avoids tooth extraction, preserves our natural teeth to the greatest extent, and prevents toothache.

These situations require root canal treatment

Tooth decay has penetrated into the tooth, and pulp or bacterial infection has caused acute/chronic pulpitis.

Dead pulp teeth caused by long-term irritation or other reasons

Accidental bumps and trauma can lead to rupture of the blood vessels at the tip of the tooth and exposure of the tooth nerve.

Root canal treatment steps

Take X-rays before surgery

uncover the medullary cavity

Determine the root canal working length

Root canal preparation

Root canal irrigation and disinfection

Finally, an all-ceramic/porcelain crown is made for the tooth, which protects the tooth. It also solves the problem of dark tooth color and makes it more beautiful.
