Root Canals get a bad rap! by Diana (Dental Assistant)

10/6/2016

6 Comments

 
As we head into October and Halloween is upon us, we are reminded of all things scary.  I thought this would be a good time to talk about what many people consider the scariest dental procedure of all: the dreaded root canal! Undoubtedly most patients have heard a story about how horrible it is to have a root canal and therefore associate the words with pain and discomfort.  The truth is that a root canal is meant to relieve pain not cause pain. Root canals are rarely a painful procedure and most patients are pleasantly surprised at how easy the treatment was when they are done.  Many even fall asleep during the procedure!
Common reasons for needing a root canal are a cracked tooth, deep cavities, damage to the tooth’s nerve, and trauma such as a being hit in the mouth. 
The number one reason a patient will need a root canal is from a cavity on a tooth that has been left untreated.  Cavities left untreated will continue to spread deeper and deeper into the tooth and eventually reach the nerve of the tooth.  When this happens the tooth can cause considerable pain and possibly become infected.  This is why we highly recommend having cavities treated while they are small and furthest away from the nerve.  
Some people believe that when a root canal procedure is done the root of the tooth is removed.  The fact is that the nerve that lives inside the roots of the tooth is removed and the inside of the tooth is then cleaned, sterilized and sealed while the roots of the tooth remain intact as seen in the photo below.  
 
We are often asked “why not just pull the tooth if it hurts”.  As dental professionals we encourage patients to save their teeth whenever possible.  While removal of a tooth is certainly an option, once it is removed the teeth on either side of the space can begin to drift causing changes to your bite and/or chewing difficulty. It can also lead to expensive procedures necessary to replace the tooth such as implants or bridges.  
The bottom line is that a root canal is a very common, everyday procedure that we do here in our office.  At Parkland Pacific Dental we want our patients to be comfortable and informed as possible when it comes to all dental procedures so we encourage you to ask any questions you may have.  
I hope that everyone enjoys the beautiful changes in color that fall brings to us and look forward to seeing you soon!
Diana

Root canal therapy helps in reducing the effects of toothaches in your life as a toothache can literally make life unbearable. It induces a paralyzing pain in the mouth that makes it practically hard for you to eat and also headaches. When it strikes at night then you will suffer from sleepless nights due to the tooth decay and this procedure eradicates all these effects.

Root canal therapy restores the normal sensation and biting force which ensures that your chewing ability remains efficient. Root canal therapy also helps by protecting the other teeth from shouldering unnecessary wear from the excessive straining due to your forced use of only one side of your mouth due to the tooth decay or injury. This will result in your teeth maintaining their natural appearance in the end.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341

LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY

Thank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and I dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and I did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew I needed to seek help because of the love I have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because I am soon going to be a married girl with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
