George Egbuonu: What Is A Root Canal & Should You Get One

Let's answer questions about root canals - such as "do you always need a crown after getting a root canal" and "does a cavity always turn into root canals" and "can your tooth be too damaged for a root canal to fix it" !? A root canal procedure is typically your last option for preserving a damaged, dying, or severely decayed tooth. Instead of extracting the tooth altogether, the nerve tissues are removed and the hollow chambers are sealed off. This process prevents bacteria from re-entering the nerve canals and causing recurring abscesses or gradual erosion of the tooth. If you hear your dentist use the words “endodontic treatment”, what they’re talking about is a root canal.

BRUSH YOUR TEETH TWICE A DAY FOR TWO MINUTES EACH TIME. Keeping your teeth clean and healthy begins with regular maintenance. Brushing for two minutes at a time twice a day, known as the 2x2 rule, will help to keep plaque at bay. Patients with children should introduce this concept early, and find ways to make it fun.
