A root canal dental job is issued by Birmingham dentists and others around the UK for the following reasons:

• Severe gum disease

· The tissue is damaged around the pulp

· Trauma to the tooth causing infection

A root canal treatment is the final procedure you can have before an infected tooth HAS to be extracted. On occasion your dentist may refer you to an
endodontist if the root canal treatment may be more complicated than usual. A root canal treatment procedure entails:

• Cleaning the infected root
• Removing the infected pulp

· Making sure whatever infection was there has completely vanished

· A filling put in place to stop infections from happening again.

The majority of times a root canal is issued due to severe gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This is basically gum disease which has been
left untreated and has infected the bone surrounded the tooth which has led to the infection of the root.

The root canal is topped with a crown usually to make sure your tooth and the surrounding area stays safe. A mild anaesthetic is often prescribed to
make the treatment as comfortable as possible as you will be making two different trips to the dentist. Root canal is a good way to prevent the need
for dental treatment like a tooth extraction.
