What Is A Root Canal Therapy? How Is It Carried
Out?
  • Root canal therapy is very commonly heard of. But
    what all does it entail? Let us find out in this
    blog.

Endodontist
  • Root canal treatment is the process in which a
    badly decayed infected tooth can be saved. The
    procedure basically involves the removal of nerve
    and pulp, then the inside of the teeth are
    cleaned and sealed. If this is not done on time
    then bacteria would multiply inside the pulp
    chamber and cause an infection or abscessed
    teeth. It can also lead to bone loss at the tip
    of the tooth root. In these situations, root
    canal therapy can prove to be really helpful.
  • Many of us are very scared about root canals
    since they think they are painful. As a matter of
    fact, the vast majority report that the method
    itself is not any more difficult than having a
    filling in the teeth. The discomfort experienced
    in the period paving the way to looking for
    dental care is genuinely painful, not the
    procedure itself. And an expert endodontist knows
    exactly how to treat the affected teeth so that
    your natural smile can be retained.

What Is A Root Canal Therapy? How Is It Carried

  • When should you visit an endodontist?
  • If you are facing severe tooth pain, then consult
    your endodontist immediately. The longer you
    leave the condition untreated, the more you would
    have to suffer. Taking pain killers is not an
    effective solution, as the problem needs to be
    treated. If not, then it would lead to severe
    complications that would intensify your pain and
    would be quite tough to treat as well.

  • Self-care tips to manage the pain initially
  • At the time of immense tooth pain, you can try
    the following tips. This would give you a bit of
    relief before you rush to your dentist
  • Rinse your mouth with salted warm water
  • Floss gently to remove food particles from
    between the teeth
  • In case of swelling, you can give a cold
    compress on your cheeks
  • You can use clove oil to numb the gum and
    reduce the pain for the time being

  • What are the possible treatment options?
  • The type of treatment that you would undergo
    basically depends on the cause of tooth pain. On
    approaching your endodontist, he/she would
    conduct a thorough check-up followed by dental
    X-ray if needed. After identifying the problem,
    he/she would conduct the treatment as required
    but in case it cannot be treated, then you might
    have to undergo tooth extraction. This is not
    only done to prevent the pain but also to prevent
    all the other teeth from getting affected. 
  • The procedure for a root canal involves the
    following steps carried out by an endodontist
  • It starts with injecting local anesthesia
  • The rubber dam is placed by the specialist
    around the affected tooth to protect it from
    bacteria.
  • Now a dentist will reach out to root canal
    system and the damaged pulp by making an opening.
  • The dentist now will remove the pulp using
    dental equipment.
  • After cleaning the canal, the canal would be
    filled and sealed.
