A root canal is a dental procedure aimed at treating and saving a tooth that has a damaged or infected pulp (the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). Here is a simplified outline of the root canal process:

🦷 Diagnosis - Identify tooth pain or infection.
🦷 Anesthesia - Numb the tooth and nearby area.
🦷 Isolation - Use a rubber dam to keep the tooth dry.
🦷 Access Opening - Make a small opening in the tooth.
🦷 Pulp Removal - Take out the damaged or infected pulp.
🦷 Cleaning and Shaping - Clean and shape the inside of the tooth.
🦷 Irrigation - Rinse the tooth to remove debris and bacteria.
🦷 Filling - Fill the cleaned space with a sealing material.
🦷 Sealing the Access Opening - Seal the opening in the tooth.
🦷 Restoration - Add a crown for support and protection.
🦷 Follow-up - Schedule check-ups to ensure healing.

It's important to note that while the procedure may sound daunting, it is a common and highly effective way to save a tooth and alleviate pain associated with pulp damage or infection.

Properly caring for your teeth is a process that requires daily effort from you and routine intervention from your dentist. You can prevent most dental issues by brushing twice daily, flossing each day, eating a healthy diet, and going to preventative dental checkups every six months. There are times, however, when you develop a dental issue that requires more than a simple checkup from your dentist.

Decay, infection, and injury can all lead to serious issues with your teeth. If you injure a tooth or have advanced decay, it can lead to a procedure called a root canal. Here’s everything you need to know about root canals from Smile Generation: https://spklr.io/6187oIrL

Sending you all sweet thoughts for a “hoppy” ! 🐇

710 million people in the world live without clean water, that’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick. But access to clean water means education, income, and health - especially for women and kids. 💧

We 💛 charity: water & will be partnering with them once again this April to help raise money for sustainable, clean, safe drinking water for people in developing countries.
