      Known as the "pumping of nerve”, root canal therapy is the treatment of dental pulp disease (common for toothache) and periapical disease (commonly manifested as gingival swelling), it is the most commonly used and effective method of teeth treatment.

      The principle of root canal treatment is to remove the infected material in the teeth root canal by mechanical or chemical methods, through the filling of root canal, closed crown, prevent the occurrence of apical periodontitis or promote the healing of periodontal lesions.

Affected by the disease, treatment difficulty and other factors, root canal treatment usually requires 1-3 times to complete, the specific number of visits required by the doctor to determine the condition after the specific inspection. If you need to return, usually two weeks at a time. Root canal therapy should be timely referral, to avoid sealing time is too long, drug failure or shedding caused by root canal infection again. If happens, it not only increases the number of treatment, prolonged treatment, also may bring difficulties to the treatment, and even lead to the failure of root canal therapy.
