In order for your root canal to function properly, it must be dissolved and replaced with a new one. This process is known as a root canal extraction (RCE).
When a person has a root canal, it is usually placed in the person’s mouth around one week before an extraction. This gives the dentist enough time to determine if the root canals are splitting in two or three places. If this happens, an emergency Root Canal Placement may be carried out.
If the split canals are not serious, then they must be treated with materials that do not affect the nerves inside the jaw. These materials are usuallyplaced around the same time as the extraction.

Poor oral health
One cause of poor oral health is poor diet. Diet can be described as the eating habits you will use to treat or prevent your health.
As we discussed earlier, food contains chemicals that affect our bodies in various ways. However, some of these chemicals are invisible to us.
However, when an invisible chemical is coupled with a visible material, such as calcium carbonate, it can cause harm.
Caution: Do not eat any calcium carbonate products! If you do, make sure that you do not swallow it and that you do not brush your teeth for at least an hour after you eat it. You should also avoid drinking water containing calcium carbonate because it may cause your mouth to harden.
Genetic factors
Root Canal Calcification is usually caused by a family member that has had a root canal treatment. Due to this family member having had a root canal treatment, your tooth has a hard time healing.
When your tooth is in place and healing, it looks beautiful! It is still soft and fluid filled. However, the time spent in the mouth as it heals can be problematic.
Some people with genetic symptoms like calcium deposits in the teeth can have trouble determining when their tooth starts to break down and how long it takes. This can make feeling stuck with your deposit happen faster than it should!
Running an initial cleaning and treatment at home can help ease this problem! It may also be worth visiting the dentist’s office for a second visit to have them check your medication effect on your healing process.
Diet factors
Diet factors are major for your body to maintain your balance and function of the calcium in your body. Calcium is found in many foods, but mainly in greens and cereals.
Because we are so busy, we often forget to eat enough calcium and vitamin D to maintain our bones. As we get older, it can be difficult to remember how much calcium you’re supposed to eat.
Adequate amounts of vitamin D and greens like spinach are important to have in our diets to maintain healthy bones. Because greens are such a regular part of our diets, we may find it easy to consume too much vitamin D and calcium.
How much you consume depends on your age. Older people typically need more than younger people do.
Root canal calcification is a common finding in endodontic pathology
Endodontic pathology, also known as oral medicine delivery, is the scientific study and treatment of teeth and their surrounding structures.
Endodontic pathologists analyze and document the causes of calcification in endodontic devitalized tissue. Calcification occurs when there is too much calcium in the root canal system, which can occur in both natural and conventional root canals.
Calcification can occur naturally in a few ways: when a tooth is lodged for a short period of time, when a root canal is developed longer, or when a new root canal is developed following an extraction. Any of these situations can create an overabundance of calcium in the system.
Conventional root canals lack any kind of protective cap or jacket around the roots, which makes it possible for too much calcium to accumulate. Natural teeth do not have this problem, but conventional (postextraction)root canals may be developmentally significant enough to develop significant calcification.
What are root canals?
A root canal is a little bit different than a root graft. A root graft is when the Cuttb wass transplantation of new tissue into an existing hole to replace it. A root canal, however, is where a cut in the bottom of your mouth is treated with an acid and a tool compresses the acid into the surrounding tissue to create new roots.
Root canals can be very painful, depending on which one you get. Some people prefer the look of natural roots but no return fee is required. If you are looking for more strength or stability, then a crown must be used. Both can be expensive!
Another cost-saving method is using an abrasion crown. This means having a small piece of metal placed in between the teeth and then reviewed with an electric brush to remove any tough surfaces. This allows for more strength and stability without needing a return fee.
How do we know they are causing calcification?
A calcium deposit can occur in a root canal during or after treatment. This is rare, occurring in as few as 1 out of every 500 root canals.
Calcium deposits may occur as a natural part of the process of healing. During this process, it works with other minerals to strengthen the roots and increase its strength.
Because it is natural, calcium oxide does not require prescription approval to be used in a root canal. It can be found at most pharmacies under the brand name Kathon¹/Kathon Xtend¹/Kathon Pro¹/Kathon Professional¹.
It may not be possible to determine whether a root canal has too much or too little calcium oxide after treatment has occurred, however.
What should I do if I have root canal calcification?
If your root canal has calcification, you should call our toll-free customer service line (855-965-7223) to find out what may be causing it. Calcification can be difficult to remove and can last for years!
There are a few ways to treat the calcification. The best option is to use a hollow crown, which is made of non-porous material like acrylic or ceramic. This allows the crown to dissolve easily into your tooth when it is fully engaged.
Another option is using an interdental appliance, which is a removable replacement for your existing filling or seal. As with hollow crowns, this appliance must have enough space to work in while taking into account any increase in length of the tooth itself.
Last but not least, if you need a new denture material or replacement for your current denture material, then you should discuss this with your dental office.
See your dentist
When your teeth are only just coming out of the sockets, there is a chance that the back teeth may develop root canal calcification. This occurs when the back tooth is granted more time in its socket by the dentist.
This can happen with any tooth, but is more common iniboic (inside) and decidual (new growth) teeth. These types of teeth are important to maintain as they can aid mouth function, such as chewing and swallowing.
If you have a decidual or iniboic tooth, you may notice something white sticking out from the bottom of the tooth. This is usually a sealant used to keep an inside tooth connected to an outside one.
When it comes time for you to get your next Root Canal Treatment, your dentist will carefully remove the sealant and replace it with a new one.
