Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
When your root get
infections or your dental pulp is damaged from disease,
dentists will advise root canal treatments to save
patient tooth. Otherwise the tooth need to be be
extracted. Although the pulp has been removed, the tooth
is still anchored in the bone and can still be used for
biting and chewing.
Here is the indication between healthy and diseased tooth.
Tooth extraction is the only alternative. The extracted tooth
will have to be replaced by a denture or a bridge.
Otherwise the neighboring teeth will move into the
space, creating problems with eating and cleaning. These
problems can give rise to gum disease and new cavities. After that the
hollow pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, filled
and sealed.

Healthy Tooth |
Diseased Tooth |
| A tooth consists of a crown and one or more roots. The
roots anchor the tooth in the jaw bone. Within the tooth
is the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels
that nourish the tooth. |
In a diseased tooth, the pulp is infected or damaged.
The cause are usually tooth decay and sometimes, trauma
or gum disease. |

During root canal treatment in Pattaya dental practice, X-ray need to be taken at
each stage to assess the lengths and positions of the
canals.
Root canal treatment can sometimes be completed in one
visit but often several visits are needed. Prosterior teeth
usually require more time for treatment because they
have more canals and are harder to reach. |
