Sometimes you need the support of family and friends during especially stressful experiences, and root canals are no different. Consider asking a trusted loved one to accompany you to your appointment. Even if they can’t be in the room during the procedure, knowing they’re nearby can do a great deal to quell your anxiety.

If you’re worried about any discomfort or pain, you should schedule an appointment. However, serious signs that you need professional care include:

- Lingering sensitivity
- Spontaneous tooth pain
- Swelling in the gums
- Pain when biting or chewing

Prompt evaluation can determine whether the pulp is inflamed and recoverable or infected and in need of more advanced care.

The pulp is the innermost layer of your tooth. It sits under the enamel and dentin in a space called the pulp chamber and extends down into the root canals. It contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that help your tooth grow and stay healthy. Once the tooth fully develops, the pulp helps you sense heat, cold, and pain.

Prevention is generally the best approach to take when it comes to cracked teeth. Ensure that you wear a mouth guard whenever you participate in sports. You should also refrain from using your teeth to open things, as well as avoid biting down on hard objects. If you have issues with clenching or grinding your teeth, you should consult your dentist to obtain an appropriate mouth guard.

Root canal therapy is used to treat issues that occur inside of the tooth. There are multiple layers of a tooth. Enamel and dentin are primarily external, which generally serve to protect the inside of the tooth, where the pulp is located. When these external layers fade or are otherwise damaged, bacteria can infiltrate into the pulp of the tooth. This can cause the pulp to become inflamed or even infected.

There are many reasons that a tooth that has been treated with a root canal may experience repeated issues. After a tooth has undergone a root canal treatment, the pulp has been removed from the inside of the tooth. This means that another root canal simply isn’t an option for the same tooth. However, endodontic re-treatment can be used to offer a second chance for the tooth to be saved.

Bone injuries can occur in the same manner as a broken leg or arm. However, unlike other bones in the body, facial bone injuries can’t just be covered with a cast while they heal. Methods endodontists use to help with bone injuries include inserting stabilizing plates or wiring the jaws together.

There are some who say that having root canals treated will cause illnesses and that it’s better to simply have your tooth removed. This is based on outdated research from the 1920’s that has long since been debunked. Many beliefs about medicine held a century have since been proven not to be true, and the idea that root canals will make you sick is one of them. There is no valid scientific research that links root canals to increased risk of disease.
