Periodontitis

Did you know that infected tooth pulp, if not treated in time, can lead to prolonged tooth pain and, in the worst-case scenario, tooth loss? The following article from Duyen Smile Dental Clinic will introduce you to a safe root canal treatment method using microscopic technology. This method allows for restorative treatment without the need for extraction like before.
The structure of a tooth includes: enamel, dentin, and pulp. Tooth pulp is a special connective tissue made up of blood vessels and nerves. Each tooth root can have one or more pulp canals, along with several accessory canals. Tooth pulp plays a role in sensation, nourishing, and repairing dentin.
Pulpitis is the condition where the dental pulp and the tissues around the tooth root become inflamed. Often, there are no initial symptoms or very few, making it hard to detect. If the tooth becomes inflamed and is not treated properly, it can lead to constant toothache. Chewing or biting can be uncomfortable, and you might experience tooth pain at night, leading to insomnia and affecting daily activities.
As the condition worsens, the system of pulp canals cannot recover, causing the tooth to become loose. The infection from the dental pulp can spread, affecting the bone marrow, lymph nodes, or adjacent soft tissues… Therefore, pulpitis is extremely dangerous if not treated in time.
To figure out if you have pulpitis, you can watch for the following symptoms:
When you notice signs of pulpitis, you should go to the dentist for an examination and treatment. Especially if you’re experiencing persistent dull pain, constant headaches, loose teeth, pus under the tooth, or a large broken tooth exposing the pulp.
Through an initial examination and X-ray imaging, the dentist will assess whether the tooth has pulpitis or not. They will also determine the severity of the inflammation and whether it can be treated with restoration or if extraction is necessary.
Keep in mind that getting a root canal treatment early shouldn’t be delayed for any reason, to avoid severe complications that could lead to permanent tooth loss.
Root canal treatment with microsurgery technology involves the use of techniques to remove infected dental pulp, aided by surgical microscopes. This is a breakthrough in applying technical technology to endodontic treatment.
The application of modern technology in root canal treatment offers the following benefits:

SAFE TOOTH ROOT TREATMENT PROCEDURE AT DUYEN SMILE DENTAL CLINIC
At Duyen Smile Dental Clinic, tooth root treatment is carried out following a scientific procedure with the following basic steps:
Step 1: The patient undergoes a general examination and X-ray. This allows the dentist to accurately determine the length of the root canal and the extent of damage to the tooth.
Step 2: The dentist cleans the mouth area and administers local anesthesia around the tooth that needs treatment. The patient feels no pain but can still sense the dentist’s actions.
Step 3: A rubber dam is placed snugly around the tooth, isolating it to facilitate the process of root canal treatment.
Step 4: The dentist uses specialized drilling equipment to open the pulp chamber, thoroughly removing the tooth pulp and bacteria. Then, the tooth is flushed and rinsed multiple times.
Step 5: The filling and aesthetic shaping are carried out to restore the complete form of the tooth. The patient will have an X-ray taken to check and ensure the tooth is completely clean.
The average time for a root canal procedure is between 20 to 60 minutes, and it can be done multiple times. This depends on the inflammation level, the complexity of the root canal system, the number of teeth that need treatment, and other related conditions. For molars and large premolars, which can have up to four roots, the treatment will take longer than for other teeth.
If a patient needs a crown, the treatment time will be extended. Additionally, the number of appointments will increase. To ensure the tooth is healed and free from infection before permanently placing the crown.

After root canal treatment, you should not use the newly treated tooth to chew hard objects. You should only eat 30 minutes after treatment. In the early stages after treatment, the gums around the tooth may be swollen, red and slightly sensitive. Therefore, patients can take painkillers as prescribed by the doctor.
