A dentist or endodontist uses the treatment of channels to find the cause and then treat problems related to the soft center of the tooth, the dental pulp. In the past, teeth with damaged or diseased pulps were frequently removed. Today, canal treatment has provided dentists with a safe way to save teeth.
The pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. It is located inside the tooth and extends from the dental crown to the tip of the root in the jaw bone.
When the pulp is diseased or damaged and cannot repair itself, it dies. The most common cause of pulp death is a fractured tooth or a deep cavity. Both problems can allow bacteria to enter the pulp, causing an infection inside the tooth.
Without treatment, pus accumulates at the tip of the root in the maxillary bone forming a "bag of pus" called an abscess. An abscess can cause damage to the bone around the teeth. When the infected pulp is not removed, it can result in pain and inflammation. Some byproducts of the infection can damage the maxillary bones. Without treatment, your tooth may have to be removed.
Channel treatment often involves one to three visits to the dentist. During treatment, a general dentist or an endodontist (a dentist who specializes in pulp problems) removes the diseased pulp. Then, it cleans and seals the pulp chamber and the root canal of the tooth.
A restored tooth can last a lifetime if you continue to take care of your teeth and gums. However, regular visits to the dentist are necessary. As long as the root of a treated tooth is nourished by the tissues around it, your tooth will remain healthy.
