Advantages of Root Canal Treatment Over Extraction

Though dentures can be a valuable option for replacing missing teeth but they cannot fully replicate the function and sensation of natural teeth. Natural root-treated teeth offer a more efficient and satisfying chewing experience.

RCT saves the natural tooth, preserving its structure and function. This is important for maintaining proper bite alignment, chewing ability, and speech.

Natural teeth look more natural and aesthetically pleasing than artificial replacements with dentures or bridges.

Keeping the natural tooth helps stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with tooth extraction. This bone loss can lead to facial sagging and premature aging.

Natural teeth can exert greater biting force compared to dentures. This increased force is essential for breaking down tough foods and ensuring proper digestion.

Natural teeth contribute to the stability of bite. Extraction can disrupt this balance, leading to issues with chewing and jaw joint health.

The coordinated action of jaw muscles, tongue, and lips is more natural with natural teeth. This contributes to efficient chewing and swallowing.

With natural teeth, individuals can enjoy a wider variety of foods without worrying about limitations or discomfort.
