Necrosis of the nerve of the tooth usually requires root canal treatment, but it is not always necessary to have root canal treatment, which can be chosen according to the individual’s situation.
1. If the necrotic nerve is not treated in time, the infected material or bacteria may enter into the root of the tooth, and at the same time may also spread to the periapical area and the alveolar bone, which will have a certain impact on the body of the individual, and may even lead to deformation of the jawbone, facial swelling and other symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out root canal treatment as soon as possible after the nerve necrosis occurs, so as to avoid complications in the later stage.
2. However, if the nerve necrosis occurs in wisdom teeth without occlusal function, it can be extracted directly without root canal treatment.
Necrosis is an irreversible process, once the nerve necrosis may be infected, through medication may not be able to alleviate the need for timely root canal treatment to remove the necrotic nerve, but also need to do a good job in the later restoration.
