- Endodontic/ root canal therapy is a procedure that is performed by a root canal specialist (endodontist) in cases where the nerve of the tooth is affected and the only way to save the tooth is by removing the affected nerve and replacing it with a filling. Your tooth is made up of three primary layers- the outer hard white enamel, the middle yellow dentine and the innermost nerve called the pulp. The pulp is essentially a collection of blood vessels that help to build the surrounding tooth. Infection to the pulp can be caused by deep decay, trauma, cracks, old amalgam fillings and even repeated dental procedures. This can result in visible injury or swelling of the tooth, pain, sensitivity to water or temperature, gum pain, food lodgement and sometimes even no symptoms at all. In some situations, you may have transient symptoms that when ignored results in the progression of the infection which finally results in such severe damage to the tooth that RCT will be your only option to save the tooth.
