ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IS A PAINFUL PROCEDURE.
On the contrary, root canal treatment alleviates tooth pain. With modern technology and the use of anesthesia, your dentist completes all procedures painlessly.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT CAUSES DISEASES.
In recent years, there have been claims in articles stating various consequences of root canal treatment, ranging from it being toxic to causing cancer and even altering DNA.
When a tooth experiences trauma - due to decay, physical forces, or extreme temperatures - the nerve tissue inside it can become damaged and die. This creates a perfect space for bacteria to colonize and form an abscess. An abscess is a collection of bacteria that your immune system contains but cannot eliminate.
A root canal treatment prevents dangerous systemic infection or irreparable damage to the tooth caused by infection or abscess. The tooth structure is cleaned, shaped, and sterilized using very specific techniques. After the tooth is thoroughly prepared, the roots are filled with a material called Gutta Percha, which is a natural rubber obtained from a plant resin, and is both sealing and resistant to fracture.
After the endodontic treatment is completed, a crown is placed for further durability and longevity.
The primary goal of endodontic treatment is to reduce the bacterial load and infection, allowing your immune system to eliminate the remaining microorganisms. In this sense, endodontics works with your body, not against it.
TOOTH EXTRACTION IS BETTER THAN ROOT CANAL TREATMENT!
Preserving your natural tooth is the best option. Despite advancements in modern dentistry and medical procedures, there is no better alternative treatment method than preserving the original tooth structure. Therefore, we insist on preserving it as much as possible.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT KILLS THE TOOTH.
Root canal treatment does not kill the tooth. In fact, it is performed to clean and remove damaged, inflamed, or infected nerve tissues and bacteria to prevent their spread, allowing the tooth to heal and function in the mouth for many years.
