Is root canal treatment necessary if there is no inflammation in the dental pulp?

In modern life, people pay more and more attention to dental diseases, because dental diseases are an important factor affecting the quality of life. Many people are troubled by dental diseases and suffer great pain. There are many methods to treat dental diseases, among which root canal treatment is one of the commonly used methods, generally used to treat pulp inflammation. Let’s take a look at whether root canal treatment is needed if there is no pulp inflammation? I hope everyone can understand it.

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure in dentistry that treats pulp necrosis and root infection. This procedure preserves the tooth and thus complements tooth extraction. The surgery is complicated and usually requires 2-4 visits to complete. The patient also suffers greater pain.

Root canal treatment is mainly used to treat pulpitis caused by tooth decay. Pulpitis can cause severe toothache and, if it develops, can lead to periodontitis. At present, in medicine, it is difficult to eliminate pulpitis by relying on oral or topical anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, we are forced to extract the inflamed pulp (dental nerve) to remove the inflammatory body. The side effect of this is that although the toothache is relieved, the tooth also dies at the same time. Generally, experienced dentists will see whether the patient's pulpitis has reached the point where there is no other way to relieve pain and inflammation before recommending root canal treatment to the patient. After all, it will turn a good tooth into a dead tooth, so they are generally cautious. In recent years, it has been found that many unscrupulous doctors, for the sake of profit, will recommend root canal treatment to patients even if it is not necessary, which is suspected of abuse.

In addition to the prevention and treatment of pulpitis, there is a new biotechnology treatment, which is the use of tooth gold. Its principle is to use the special effect of the effective ingredients extracted from biological extracts on the gums, so that the gums can quickly absorb the inflammation of the pulp. The toothache can be basically eliminated on the day of use. For people with acute gingivitis (red and swollen gums, commonly known as wind-fire toothache), taking Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets in combination is also effective.
