Again, the world first class pain is back: toothache. And it came back so sudden, yesterday evening. The affected tooth was only one molar, which seems to experienced cavity.
Root Canal (RC):
A root canal is the space within the root of a tooth. It is part of a naturally occurring space within a tooth that consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the main canal(s), and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root. Wiki.
Even though, it looks like a simple toothache, root canal is the world first pain because it happened deep inside your tooth, affecting your nerves. The pain will include normal toothache, additional toothache at nearby teeth, a pain in/around your ear, your eyes, your neck, simply said all the nerves around your head.
One throbbing from the toothache simultaneously affect the other areas in your head.
Therefore, I’ve been awake since yesterday, trying to content the pains. Luckily, I managed to set an appointment on this Sunday for my RCT (root canal treatment) at one private clinic in Section 8, Shah Alam.
Endodontic therapy:
Endodontic therapy is a sequence of treatment for the pulp of a tooth which results in the elimination of infection and protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion. This set of procedures is commonly referred to as a “root canal.” Root canals and their associated pulp chamber are the physical hollows within a tooth that are naturally inhabited by nerve tissue, blood vessels and other cellular entities. Endodontic therapy involves the removal of these structures, the subsequent cleaning, shaping, and decontamination of the hollows with tiny files and irrigating solutions, and the obturation (filling) of the decontaminated canals with an inert filling such as gutta percha and typically a eugenol-based cement.
After endodontic surgery the tooth will be “dead,” and if an infection is spread at apex, root end surgery is required. Wiki.
