Root Canal Treatment

Why is RCT Needed?

When tooth decay, injury, or infection reaches the pulp chamber, which houses the nerves and blood vessels, it can cause excruciating pain and inflammation. In such cases, the best option is Root Canal Treatment to avoid tooth extraction and maintain the natural tooth.

The Root Canal Process:

• Step 1: Examination and X-rays
  During the initial visit, your dentist will examine the affected tooth, assess its condition, and take X-rays to determine the extent of damage.

• Step 2: Local Anesthesia
  Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

• Step 3: Removing Infected Pulp
  An access hole is created in the tooth to reach the pulp chamber. The infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned to prevent further infection.

• Step 4: Filling and Sealing
  The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, and a dental sealer is used to seal the tooth to prevent reinfection.

• Step 5: Restoring the Tooth
  After RCT, a dental crown or filling is placed on the tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance.

Advantages of RCT:

• Pain Relief: RCT relieves severe toothache caused by infections or inflammation.

• Tooth Preservation: It saves the natural tooth from extraction, preserving your smile and bite.

• Improved Oral Health: By removing infection, RCT prevents the spread of bacteria and protects nearby teeth.

• Restored Function: With a crown or filling, the treated tooth functions like any other healthy tooth.

• Aesthetics: The dental crown restores the tooth’s appearance, enhancing your smile.

Aftercare:

Following RCT, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the treated tooth and surrounding areas remain healthy.

Is RCT Painful?

Contrary to popular belief, Root Canal Treatment is relatively painless. Modern techniques and local anesthesia make the procedure comfortable and stress-free. Patients may experience mild sensitivity for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
