What is a root filling?
Answers:
A root filling is a filling placed inside the root canal of the tooth. A root filling may be necessary if the nerve inside the tooth dies. This may be caused by dental injury or tooth decay penetrating the nerve. An abscess may develop.
Hell.
A root filling is when a young tree is planted in reforstation.
Used to be guta-percha, a polyterpene, a polymer of isoprene was used to fill a tooth's root after the nerve was removed..
Open wide. Here comes the root juice.
It is a speciality mixture used in Bolivia to stuff an Elk's leg, made from root vegetables.
PAINFUL!
Expensive!! I know people who have had this done and it hasn't worked and they have just decided to have the tooth pulled out.
When teeth are very decayed or have infected roots they will require a root canal filling if they are to be saved. This is a procedure where the tooth is cleaned and shaped inside, and then thoroughly filled.
another way of saving a tooth that needs to be pulled out
a root filling is a the root of the tooth so it will mean a lot of drilling. and probably some pain
Root filling is after the root canal is completed, the chambers are cleaned and free of bacteria, the dentist uses a mixture along with gutta percha points to fill the nerve chambers and seal them so bacteria can not get back into them. The procedure is pain free. Or you could mean a root fill that is a surgical procedure done after you have had a root canal and it has failed, then the dentist has to make a small incision into the gum at the root tip and surgically remove the tip of the root and do whats called a back fill, so I don't know which one you where asking about so now you have both.
Depends on what you're thinking of.
It could be a filling (like a regular filling) that happens to be on the root of your tooth, or it could be the sealing part of a root canal (properly known as obturation).
If you mean a root canal filling, then it is a radiopaque material usually rubberlike in consistency that is placed in the tooth after a root canal is performed and all of the nerve and other tissue is removed from the tooth. It fills in the nerve space and seals the tooth off from bacteria, etc. Then they will usually restore the tooth afterwards with a crown or a filling, depending on which tooth the root canal was done on and the dentist preference. Good luck if you need one--it's not so bad. Don't listen to your friends--everyone seems to have had a "horrible" experience with one but most people remember the pain associated with the tooth which required the root canal in the first place.
