Our oral health consists of gums, teeth and mouth that aid us in speaking, chewing, and smiling. It is important to maintain our oral health and take a closer look at what is happening in our mouth to avoid infection and oral health problems. On most occasions, people experience oral health problems due to multiple reasons, such as poor oral hygiene and poor food choices. When people neglect their oral health, they will more likely develop oral health problems caused by bacteria and infections. Moreover, when bacterias have already infected your teeth, they will rapidly progress into more serious health problems such as cavities and periodontal diseases resulting in tooth extraction. When multiple tooth extraction happens because of oral problems, it will lead to edentulism, commonly known as toothless. Retaining our dental health as we age is difficult, but it should not be impossible with all the dental treatments still continuously progressing.

What is root canal therapy, and how does it help our oral health? 

Root canal therapy is a restorative dental treatment that aims to save your natural tooth by removing the infected pulp that causes your discomfort and facial pain. A root canal treatment is a major dental treatment that can last up to thirty to sixty minutes of dental work, depending on the affected area. Root canal therapy aims to save your natural teeth and prevent tooth extraction, leading to bone loss. Below are the benefits of having a root canal treatment.

Treatments such as root canal might effectively retain your natural teeth and your jawbone structure, but there is no such thing as perfect treatment. Root canal therapy can lessen the quality of your teeth because the procedure requires a little removal of the dentin, making it more vulnerable to becoming weak. However, the bottom line of root canal treatment is to keep your natural teeth as much as possible to avoid edentulism.
