[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Many people feel scared and troublesome when they hear about "root canal treatment". Root canal treatment is performed to remove all pulp tissue, necrotic cells, nerves and bacteria in the pulp cavity, so that the disease can be truly controlled.

If root canal treatment is not performed in this situation, the tooth stability and occlusal force may be greatly reduced gradually, and the worst case may even cause cellulitis.

Sun Jinong, a dentist at Muguang Aesthetic Dental Clinic, posted on his Facebook fan page "Muguang Aesthetic Dental Clinic" that a friend once had a toothache and only took painkillers to relieve it, but the dentist immediately helped him make an appointment and took X-rays find out the problem.

Sun Jinong said that many office workers will feel that it is time-consuming to ask for leave to go to the clinic for treatment because of a single tooth discomfort. Taking painkillers can achieve the relief effect, but dentists do not recommend it, because there are many causes of oral discomfort. If it is not treated in time, it may cause tooth collapse in the future, and even affect the original healthy adjacent teeth.

Sun Jinong said that usually continuous tooth pain may be caused by tooth decay, periodontal disease or accidental nerve inflammation. At this time, if the dentist confirms that the inner nerve of the tooth has been infected or even necrotic, root canal treatment must be performed. Only by removing all the pulp tissue, necrotic cells, nerves and bacteria in the pulp cavity can the disease be truly controlled.

"Is it possible to skip root canal treatment?" Sun Jinong pointed out that if root canal treatment is not performed when the bacteria have already destroyed and affected the internal structure of the tooth, there may not be much difference on the surface of the tooth, but the inside of the tooth will be full. Necrotic cells gradually become cavities, and the stability and bite force will be greatly reduced.

If the patient's physical condition is relatively weak and the immune system is weak, there may be diffuse infection, leading to inflammation of the root tip and periodontium, and the most serious case may cause cellulitis.

Sun Jinong said that when faced with the need for root canal surgery, there is a world of difference between having treatment and not having treatment.

Many people are afraid that after root canal treatment, their teeth will become more fragile and they need to wear protective braces. Therefore, they should pay attention to whether the cleaning of teeth is correct and implemented every day. "Prevention is better than cure", as long as everyone can take a positive view of tooth cleaning Habits and better health awareness can reduce the damage germs do.
