Sometimes tooth pain develops gradually. It starts as discomfort when drinking something cold or hot and eventually turns into a constant pain that even affects your sleep or your ability to eat. In many cases, this pain means that the infection has reached the inside of the tooth and that the dental nerve is affected. That’s when many people seek a root canal in Mallorca to avoid losing the tooth. A root canal is one of the most common treatments for saving damaged teeth and preserving your natural teeth without the need for extraction.

What is a root canal?

A root canal is a dental treatment that removes infection or inflammation from inside the tooth when the dental pulp—which contains the nerve and blood vessels—is damaged.

During a root canal, the dentist cleans and disinfects the tooth’s internal canals to remove the infection and then seals the tooth to prevent further problems.

Thanks to root canal treatment, it is possible to save a natural tooth that would otherwise likely have to be extracted.

When is a root canal necessary?

Many people put off going to the dentist because they think the pain will go away on its own. However, when there is an infection in the dental nerve, the problem usually gets worse over time.

A root canal may be necessary when symptoms such as the following appear:

• Severe tooth pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Discomfort when chewing
• Swelling of the gums
• Tooth infection
• Discoloration of the tooth

How does a root canal treatment work?

Root canal treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia and is generally no more uncomfortable than other routine dental procedures.

Diagnosis and Assessment

The first step is to perform an examination and take X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and confirm whether the infection has reached the dental nerve.

Duct Cleaning

During a root canal, the dentist accesses the inside of the tooth to remove the infected tissue and carefully clean the root canals.

Tooth Sealing

Once the infection has been eliminated, the root canals are sealed to protect the inside of the tooth and prevent bacteria from re-entering.

Restoration

After a root canal, the tooth may become more fragile because it has lost part of its natural structure and the dental nerve. For this reason, in many cases it is advisable to perform a subsequent restoration to protect the tooth and fully restore its function.
