Paragraph Title:
We Explain Why You’re in So Much Pain!
Content:
Many people associate root canals with pain, but actually, the procedure itself will remove the pain! An infection within your tooth happens when bacteria finds an entrance into the tissues inside of your tooth. This usually occurs from one of the following situations:
Untreated decay
Cracked or chipped tooth

As the infection occurs, your body’s response system goes into effect. The area becomes inflamed, and you begin to experience pain. There are instances where a root canal is only detected by the dentist, which is why it is important to visit for routine appointments.

The innermost part of the tooth (where the infection occurs) is the soft pulp made up of nerve tissue, lymph tissue, and blood vessels. It is surrounded by harder dentin, which is enclosed in the super hard protective layer called tooth enamel. In order for a root canal to be required, bacteria must make its way all the way to the dental pulp.
A root canal procedure always involves disinfection of the problematic tooth and getting rid of all the debris, such as nerve tissue, lymph tissue, blood tissue, bacteria, and infection from the coronal pulp chamber and its associated canals. After being sufficiently cleansed and shaped, a patient’s tooth canals are filled with materials that are designed to prevent infection from recurring and the pain that is associated with it.
