Why are Root Canals Performed?
Root Canal treatment is performed in an attempt to repair a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected. During the procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without root canal treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth would become infected, an abscess may form and the tooth may be lost.
Many people go to the doctor for regular checkups, and work out at the gym every day to make sure that their body is in top shape. They may go to the salon for regular hair treatments or to the spa for a massage, however, the smile is the part of one’s physical appearance that is often neglected. This is really unfortunate, because your smile is actually one of the first things that others will notice about you.
What is the success rate of a Root Canal?
Root canal treatment is highly successful; the procedure has more than a 95% success rate. Many teeth fixed with a root canal can last a lifetime.
