Skip to content Root Canal Treatment
Tooth decay is the primary cause of tooth damage. Our teeth have three layers, and the innermost layer is called the pulp. The pulp of the tooth contains nerves and vessels. A dental filling can be done when the decay is limited to the outer two layers. However, with the involvement of the pulp, the tooth has severe pain. Root canal treatment, or RCT, is the process of relieving this pain. It is the most common dental procedure that helps us remove the infected portion of the teeth. When the innermost layer gets involved, the pain can be continuous or intermittent. RCT helps clean the infected portion of the tooth and fill it with a biocompatible sealer material.
Root canal treatment can be done in a single sitting or multiple sittings. It can be done with hand instruments or rotary instruments. In the information provided below, we will briefly discuss root canal treatment- brought to you by Smile Concepts Andheri
Tooth decay is the most common cause of tooth damage. Once the decay reaches the pulp, it causes immense pain. A filling can not be done in such cases. If not treated timely, the infection from the tooth can spread to the surrounding tissues. When the surrounding tissues get involved, it leads to tooth mobility and loss in the future. To avoid such complications, we need timely intervention in the form of RCT.
Tooth injury is another common reason for which root canal treatment is advised. The treatment depends upon the severity of the trauma. When the injury involves the nerves and vessels, RCT can help save the tooth. Minor chipping off the enamel can be handled with other methods like cosmetic treatments. If not done promptly, the tooth will turn black or dark brown and dull your smile.
The first and foremost step is to consult with our smile experts. This step allows you to clarify all your doubts regarding the outcome with our team. We will perform a clinical examination of your tooth to understand its current status. A radiological analysis is also done to formulate a diagnosis. Based on your current condition, a customized treatment plan is then formulated.
The actual treatment begins with anesthesia of the tooth. The tooth is made numb with local anesthesia to make the process comfortable. General anesthesia is not used for this; only the concerned tooth is numb. This is done to anesthetize the tooth and its surrounding areas.
Once the tooth is completely numb, the cleaning process begins. The infected portion is removed, and the tooth is disinfected.
Once the cleaning is completed, the tooth is sealed with a biocompatible dental sealer to prevent reinfection.
The dental crown or tooth cap is planned after the root canal treatment to save the tooth from fracture.
Attending the regular follow-ups organized by our team at Smile Concepts Andheri is essential. They help monitor the progress of the treatment.
We always save the tooth, and tooth extraction is the last resort. Root canal treatment is the best procedure. It conserves the natural tooth structure and prevents the spread of infection into the surrounding areas.
The pain associated with the tooth is relieved in the first sitting itself. The procedure helps to clean the infected portion, thus relieving the pain.
Tooth hypersensitivity is sometimes not treated effectively with conventional methods. RCT comes into play when anti-tooth sensitivity pastes and gels have failed to counter the problem.
RCT is a fast way of saving teeth. Depending upon the tooth’s condition, it is completed in one or two sittings. It is the most effective way to preserve the natural tooth.
It helps in improving your chewing ability by enabling you to bite correctly.
It is the long-lasting solution to your tooth pain problem. RCT is a procedure that is designed to last a lifetime.
The aftercare process is similar to that of a natural tooth. Regular brushing and flossing are necessary to maintain the RCT-treated tooth in good health.
