There are two ways a tooth can abscess: 1) From deep decay which infects the nerve, or 2) Trauma to the tooth. For example: chipping, breakage or a blow to the tooth. | ||||||||||||
ROOT CANAL THERAPY (RCT) TREATMENT
OF AN ABSCESS
When a patient has a toothache the symptoms may include some of the following:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Biting or pressure sensitivity
- throbbing "heart beat" pain, usually worse at night.
With the help of a periapical x-ray, the doctor can detect an abscess at the end of the root of the tooth.
So what is Root Canal Therapy? Root Canal Therapy is actually removing infected pulp (nerve/blood supply) from the root of a tooth; cleaning out the canals, which house the nerves; and sealing the tooth with a synthetic rubber material.
Although a filling can be done after a root canal, most doctors highly recommend having a crown placed because the tooth can become brittle after the nerve is removed.
