It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. On the one hand, regular operation ensures your safety, on the other hand, it also relieves unnecessary pain. Generally, dental radiographs are taken to understand the position of pulp chamber, the number and shape of root canals, and the length of root canals is measured.

Root canal surgery usually requires three steps: root canal preparation, root canal disinfection and root canal filling. Root canal therapy is not always done at one time. The doctor should treat you step by step according to your clinical examination. Generally speaking, root canal therapy needs 2-4 visits to complete.
Clinically, we generally don't talk about the harm of root canal therapy to teeth, but only about the possible complications after root canal therapy. Because root canal therapy is the most thorough treatment for pulpitis and periapical periodontitis. Therefore, it is the most commonly used treatment for pulp diseases and periapical diseases. So the harm of root canal therapy actually refers to the complications after root canal therapy, as follows:
b
1, instrument separation may occur during root canal therapy, because at present, root canal therapy is all manual preparation, and then mechanical nickel-titanium instruments are used for one-time preparation to remove excessive residual pulp, which will inevitably lead to instrument separation during treatment;
2. In the case of separating root canal instruments, it may be necessary to use a microscope to remove the separated instruments. At this time, if the instrument is stuck in one third of the root or apex, it may cause lateral penetration into the lateral wall of the root canal when it is pulled out;
3. Root canal therapy may lead to acute inflammation, edema and pain of periapical tissue.
According to the situation you described, root canal therapy should be considered for periapical periodontitis or pulpitis caused by dental caries, and root canal therapy is not needed for periodontal disease.
c
Generally, the teeth after root canal treatment should be protected with braces. Root canal therapy can effectively preserve teeth and prevent toothache complications and insecurity. Brushing teeth combined with flossing can effectively prevent gingivitis and dental caries.
