WORKWEEK.
JEN, OVER TO YOU.
THANK YOU, RICHARD WE'RE A
WEEK AWAY FROM OUR FREE DENTAL
EVENT, AMONG THE SERVICES
OFFERED, ROOT CANALS.
JOINING ME NOW IS
ENDODON'TIST IS.
WHAT IS.
I AGREE, I GET BLANK STARES,
OTHERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH ORAL
SURGEON BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE
HAD THEIR WISDOM TEETH OUT OR
ORTHODONTIST WHERE ATHEY HAD
BRACES, BUT AN ENDODON'TIST IS A
SPECIALIST IN SAVING TEETH.
EVERY PROCEDURE THAT WE PERFORM
IS DESIGNED TO AVOID LOSING THE
TOOTH.
AND TYPICALLY GOES TWO TO THREE
YEARS OF SPECIALITY TRAINING
AFTER DENTAL SCHOOL TO PERFORM
THESE PROCEDURES AND WE ALSO GET
TRAINING IN COMPLEX DIAGNOSES
AND SOMETIMES IT IS DIFFICULT TO
TELL WHERE THE PAIN IS COMING
FROM AND WE WANT TO KNOW SO WE
CAN FIX IT.
IT CAN BE MISERABLE PAIN.
LET'S TALK ABOUT ROOT CANAL.
WHEN DO YOU NEED A ROOT CANAL.
YOU HAVE A PASSED HAVING A TOOTH
WITH A CAVITY IN IT.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT A HEALTHY
TOOTH, IT HAS ENAMEL ON THE
OUTSIDE, THE HARDEST STUFF IN
YOUR BODY BUT CAN BE BROKEN DOWN
BY CAVITIES AND ANOTHER BELOW
THAT IS A HARD-LAYER TOOTH AND
YOU GET INSIDE WITH WHERE THE
BLOOD VESSEL AND MORE
IMPORTANTLY THE NERVE.
ONCE THE CAVITY REACHES ON THE
INSIDE YOU CAN HAVE AN INFECTION
START AND GET THAT PAIN, ALSO,
CRACKS IN BIGGER FILLINGS THAT
YOU HAVEN'T HAD A YOU KNOW YET
ON.
AND THIS PICTURE THAT YOU
HAVE IS EXPLAINING HOW IT CAN
GET DEEP DOWN INTO THE ROOT,
CORRECT?
WHAT DO YOU DO?
IT REQUIRES ABOUT INCISION, DOES
IT SNOT.
IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHEN
YOU HAVE A FILLING DONE WHERE WE
REMOVE ALL THE CAVITY THAT IS
THERE.
IN THIS CASE WE'RE GETTING THE
INNERPART OF THE TOOTH AND WE
CLEAN THAT OUT WHILE YOU'RE
NUMBER -- NUMB, OF COURSE AND
GET EVERYTHING STERILIZED INSIDE
THE TOOTH.
ONCE THAT IS ALL CLEANED WE PUT
A FILLING MATERIAL DOWN INSIDE
THE TOOTH TO PREVENT ANY NEW
INFECTION FROM GROWING AND THE
ABSCESS WHICH CAN CAUSE BONE
LOSS AROUND THE TOOTH WILL HEAL,
GIVEN TIME AND YOU'LL HAVE A
CROWN PUT ON THE TOOTH BY YOUR
GENTLEDENTIST AND GO LIVING LIFE
REQUEST W THAT TOOTH.
DO YOU FIND THAT PEM TEND TO
WAIT AND PUT IT OFF AND HEAR,
OH, NO, A CONSTITUTE CANAL
BECAUSE THEY'RE WORRIED IT IS
GOING TO THE BE DANGEROUS.
ABSOLUTELY.
PEOPLE EARLY STAGES YOU MAY NOT
KNOW THAT YOU NEED THE ROOT
CANAL, BUT BOY YOU DO KNOW IT
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU DO BECAUSE
THAT PAIN IS JUST UNLIKE
ANYTHING ELSE.
SO WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE AS SOON
AS THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM
TRY TO GET IT FIXED SOMETIMES
YOU CAN PREVENT FRIT GETTING TO
THAT STAGE BY A SIMPLE FILLING.
THESE INFECTIONS CAN GET SERIOUS
AND SOME PEOPLE END UP
HOSPITALIZED IF THEY PUT IT OFF
LONG ENOUGH.
HOW LONGING CAN A SIMPLE
CAVITY DISTURB INTO A ROOT CAN
JOOLITE CONTENDS ON THE A HOW
OFTEN OFTEN THEY'RE GETTING
THEIR TEETH CLEANED.
IT IS GENERALLY A SLOWER
PROCESS BUT PEEVE SEEN IN SOME
KAYS ITS LUI MOVE FROM VERY
SMALL.
TO SOMETHING YOU DON'T FEEL
TO SOMETHING IS MISERABLE AND
YOU CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.
