Root canal treatment is to save the teeth, preventing its removal. This way they can continue to fulfill its functions of mastication and aesthetics.</p>
<p>Currently, root canal treatments are performed in one appointment. Today we have the knowledge and equipment necessary to make this possible. Traditionally, these treatments have been made in several sessions (2-4), and if it is possible to achieve adequate results in different events, most cases are likely to culminate in a single session, except for some more complicated cases, where may be needed two or more sessions.</p>
<p><span id="more-196"></span><strong>Is it painful a root canal treatment?</strong><br />
It should not be. At the time of treatment to be implemented by placing a local anesthetic to prevent the patient from feeling pain.<br />
After treatment and after the anesthesia could appear any discomfort in chewing for a few days due to irritation of the periodontal tissue (ligament that connects the tooth to the bone) surrounding the root. In these cases, prescription anti-inflammatory painkillers the dentist sufficient for pain control.</p>
<p><strong>Is it common for the tooth is put black after a root canal treatment?</strong><br />
It is possible over the months and years the tooth to turn a darker color than normal. To fix this you can make internal and external bleaching, veneer or a crown gear.</p>
<p><strong>Does it work forever?</strong><br />
There&#8217;s no &#8220;lifetime warranty.&#8221; The success is very high. This percentage is lower in infected teeth or who have failed previous root canal treatment. If that happens it will be necessary to repeat the treatment, complemented by surgical treatment or even extraction of the affected tooth</p>
<p><strong>Is there any alternative to root canal treatment?</strong><br />
There is no alternative to endodontics, except the extraction and since this is an irreversible fact, we always recommend first conducting endodontics. The ideal is to conserve healthy tooth itself.</p>
<p><strong>Are they more fragile teeth after a root canal treatment?</strong><br />
The restored tooth that is not susceptible to fracture, so the patient should see a dentist as soon as possible after endodontic treatment in the week after treatment or at the latest, within fifteen days.</p>
<p>In a few cases, a properly restored tooth treated with root canal treatment can suffer a fracture after a time by loss of restoration, caries or other predisposing factors, among which is bruxism, a condition that is becoming increasingly clear in the consultation .</p>
<p><strong>What care I have to be next?</strong><br />
It may hurt for a few days, the face may also swell. The consultation will prescribe the most appropriate medication<br />
You should eat at the side opposite to the root canal during the first days, to avoid hurt or fracture the tooth.<br />
You can brush your teeth regularly at an early stage, even in the area of endodontics.<br />
After the root canal the tooth is covered with a temporary filling, which is more porous than the final filling, so you should go early to the office to rebuild the tooth root canal, and that by going with the temporary filling or it may drop fracture.<br />
You must be careful not to accidentally bite the soft tissues of the mouth (tongue, lips), as the anesthesia takes away about two or three hours after therapy and, not noticing the tissues are susceptible to be lacerated.</p>

If your <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dentist">dentist</a> recommends treatment of ducts, is likely to shake you to the teeth. It need not be afraid because this treatment, also known as <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/root-canal-treatment">root canal</a> not hurt as before and it may be the last hope to save a seriously infected tooth. Find out what it is and smile at endodontics to save your teeth.</p>
<p>When you neglect a cavity (bite) or you break a tooth, bacteria can enter the pulp (the soft center) and infect, excruciating pain and putting you in danger of losing your tooth. In such cases, it is more likely that your dentist (dentist) will ask you to give you a root canal or root canal treatment.</p>
<p><span id="more-191"></span>What is this? The word refers to the root canal inside the tooth. This <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/secondary-caries-in-a-tooth-with-root-canal-treatment.htm">treatment</a> takes out the inside of your infected tooth pulp and root canal cleaning (found within the pulp) to prevent the infection spreads and you can lose your tooth. For this reason it is common to be called simply &#8220;root canal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many fear this treatment because a few decades ago was extremely painful and would it not be if the pulp of your teeth are the nerves that are the most sensitive part! By the same token, when the dentist suggested, many patients saw it as a punishment.</p>
<p>But there are two good news about it. The first is that today, thanks to advances in dentistry and the use of anesthesia, it is not a painful procedure or the discomfort is much lower. And the second is that treatment of the tubes really can mean the only chance to save your teeth and smile, because it prevents the infection reaches the bone that supports the tooth and so you do not need to remove it.</p>
<p>How is it done? A treatment of common duct is performed directly in the office of your dentist or endodontist, and may take one to three visits, depending on the severity of the infection.</p>
<p>Before you start local anesthesia to avoid getting hurt.</p>
<p>The dentist will start by opening the crown of the tooth where the bacteria entered in order to reach the pulp and to clean the infection. Using very small instruments, draw the part of the pulp is damaged, then clean the root canals. It is likely that you apply medicine to kill germs that remain scattered in the pulp and continue to avoid infecting your tooth.</p>
<p>Sometimes you need to leave the tooth open for you to drain the pus caused by infection, and have to go back to a second or third date. In this case, the endodontist will put a temporary filling to cover a little tooth, but will warn that you should not bite or chew on that side until you have sealed it completely.</p>
<p>When you finish the treatment, the endodontist fills the pulp cavity and ducts, and then sealed. Finally, we will place a new crown to make your smile as it was before. Previously used gold crowns (many adults still have them, especially those who are now grandparents), but currently the most common is that they put a porcelain crown similar to the natural color of your other teeth to go undetected. This crown can last you a lifetime, but only if you keep doing your teeth and gums regularly to prevent caries attack them again.</p>
<p>When an infection in your teeth is very serious and has reached the root, you&#8217;ll probably need to remove it. But fortunately today there are other options. You can place an implant, bridge or false teeth if they are several teeth at a time.</p>
<p>Either way, rest assured that you root canal treatment to smile again without pain and with all your teeth complete.</p>
<p>Remember that the key to avoid reaching this point is to maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing your teeth three times a day and using the thread or dental floss.</p>

When doing a root canal or <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/endodontic">endodontic</a> eliminate the vascular nervous bundle of the tooth (pulp) that lodges in the pulp chamber and canals tooth and fill it with a suitable material for this. By this we mean that we do not change the composition of the tissues of the teeth, therefore, the tooth has the same opportunity to develop a cavity on the surface like a perfectly healthy tooth.</p>
<p>The thing to remember is that when one moves on a tooth <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/cavities-an-enemy-of-children.htm">caries</a> with root canal the patient tipop persive no sensitivity or discomfort since the encragada to perceive (pulp) has been eliminated.</p>
<p><span id="more-187"></span>Another question we are our patients is that if a tooth with a crown (porcelain, metal, acrylic, etc) can get cavities. Not only can but has more possibilities than a healthy <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/tooth">tooth</a>. This is because the crown sits on the tooth and in union with failure over the years, being able to produce a recurrence of cavities.</p>
<p>It is therefore advisable to carry out periodic visits to the dentist to check the teeth with root canals and crowns to prevent widespread destruction by caries.</p>

It is a concentration of pus that results from a bacterial infection at the root of the tooth affected by it. Usually this infection is caused by an unattended <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/cavities-an-enemy-of-children.htm">caries</a>.</p>
<p>The abscess formation process begins when <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/tooth">tooth</a> appears on the access that frees the way for the bacteria to the root of the tooth, either by decay, the most common, or tooth mobility due to periodontal disease.</p>
<p>The bacteria through this open road, to infect the tooth, the pulp, the root and even the adjacent bone. At this point, the infection produces pus that collects in the area causing inflammation of the same accompanied by intense pain.</p>
<p><span id="more-183"></span>The main symptoms are:<br />
• Severe pain and throbbing.<br />
• <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-care">dental</a> hypersensitivity.<br />
• Red, inflamed gums.<br />
• Halitosis and bad taste.<br />
• Fever or mild fever.<br />
• Swollen glands in the neck.<br />
• Swelling of the face area affected by the abscess.</p>
<p>Once you have been diagnosed by a specialist, and perhaps through an X-ray examination to confirm the diagnosis, treatment involves the administration by prescription of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory, and also benefit, make mouthwash with warm water and salt.</p>
<p>Later, when the inflammation has subsided, it is necessary to return to the appropriate specialist for proper treatment on the affected tooth, usually performed a root canal, fillings, or cap, as needed. </p>

<p>One of its programs is the Mission of Mercy. Last year volunteers attended dentists and about two thousand people in Springdale offering free dental services.</p>
<p>Dr. Dwight Duckworth, of the Dental Association of the State of Arkansas, was responsible for the mission.<br />
&#8220;Statewide the biggest problem with children&#8217;s dental health is the lack of access to a dentist,&#8221; she said.<br />
He says that this is not so much the case in Northwest Arkansas as there are a significant number of dentists.</p>
<p><span id="more-181"></span>A statewide campaign is to increase the application of a dental sealant on the teeth of children as a method of prevention for caries.</p>
<p>A dental sealant is applied to the surface cracks and some teeth where 90% of childhood caries.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is important to diagnose dental problems of children because then it can cause tooth loss, it takes more work and more expensive,&#8221; said Duckworth.</p>
<p>&#8220;To prevent things when they&#8217;re young will help immensely to become adults,&#8221; he said.</p>

Cavities affect children more than any other chronic infectious disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half of <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-care/child-teeth">children</a> between five and nine years have had at least one cavity or filling. Upon reaching age 17, 7% of children have lost one permanent tooth because of <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/dental-destructive-habits.htm">caries</a>.</p>
<p>The dentist Patricia Morales explains that a child usually has 20 teeth that are the primary teeth or milk <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/teeth">teeth</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important to bring the child regularly. I would say that after three years if the child can, at least a visual examination to detect if your child has cavities, &#8220;said Morales.</p>
<p>In addition to making visual examination, Morales said, if the child is left, you can make a clean to get used to going to the dentist routinely.</p>
<p><span id="more-179"></span>A dental problem among children under 24 months is bottle caries. The cause is the bottle that parents give them at night.</p>
<p>&#8220;That child has sugar nightly bottle cause tooth decay and is quite aggressive,&#8221; said Morales.</p>
<p>The baby bottle tooth decay can be prevented by removing milk at night.</p>
<p>&#8220;The way to remove the bottle at night is to dilute the milk with a little water and diluting and diluting to give them only water,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Morales advised that children start to brush their teeth at least three to four times a day using fluoride toothpaste that does not have, if swallowed.</p>
<p>&#8220;When it comes out four to six little teeth mom can take a few wipes or no face towels with a pass in the teeth,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>She added that it is important to try to pass the child to floss between the teeth and joints that children have a diet low in sugar.</p>
<p>&#8220;The juices are given in the WIC, juice they buy at the supermarket [is that] dilute because these juices have too much sugar and that is what causes tooth decay,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Morales spoke out against the consumption of soft drinks because it causes demineralization and decalcification of the tooth which is also the principle of decay.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is important that parents have a little curiosity, he opened the mouths of children and the review,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;If they see any spots, a large black spot, do not expect a child to grow much because the baby bottle tooth decay can be seen the loss of the first layer of enamel and teeth begin to see dark,&#8221; he said.</p>

We now know that in a mouth there is an ongoing cycle of <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/demineralizating-tooth">demineralization</a> and remineralization in the tooth surface, for what we consider to <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-caries">caries</a> as a dynamic process.</p>
<p>If the acidity on the surface of a <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/teething-process.htm">tooth</a> is below pH 5.5, there will be a release of calcium and phosphate ions, which are enshrined in the saliva.</p>
<p><span id="more-177"></span>But since saliva is a saturated solution of these ions, the possibility exists that these superfiie return to the tooth. If the saliva pH rises above 5.5, any injury that may affect only enamel remineralisation and &#8220;heal.&#8221;</p>
<p>If this balance is upset in favor of bone (due to prolonged periods of acidity) will end up producing a cavity in the tooth, requiring restorative treatment (removal of caries and recovery of lost tissue through a restorative material).</p>

Teething process is often accompanied by other symptoms, namely: decrease in appetite for solid foods, baby likes to bite and rub his <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/gum-changes-during-pregnancy.htm">gum</a>, become more fussy baby, become more frequent thumb or finger sucking, awake at night.</p>
<p>If these symptoms appear every time a child will grow <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-care/child-teeth">teeth</a>, then the parents blame the child teething process as the cause.</p>
<p>But if these symptoms occur and do not come with teeth that grow, then there is the possibility of other conditions that occur in children such as ear infections.</p>
<p><span id="more-175"></span>Some babies are sometimes uncomfortable with this <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/first-baby-tooth">teething</a> process, so parents can do something to help calm the child and reduce uncomfortable, namely:</p>
<p>1. Leaving the baby something cold to chew. One of the most popular ways to overcome discomfort in the mouth is chewed to let things cool down. A cloth soaked in cold water can reduce swelling in the gums or giving small ice made from fruit juice.<br />
2. Helping make babies to be calm and reduce stress. Sometimes the stress of teething can be worse than the result of physical illness. Try to soothe your baby with soft music, talking to him or give him gentle massage.<br />
3. If this condition does not help alleviate the condition of the baby, it could not hurt to consult a doctor to know there are other conditions that follow or not. </p>
