• Advantages of Root Canal Treatment
• Root canal treatment is essentially a
  preservation procedure, where an infected tooth
  is treated to conserve its remaining structure
  and function. The most proficient root canal
  dentist in Jaipur identifies the affected tooth,
  drills some holes in it to expose the channels,
  takes out the infected pulp, and thoroughly
  sanitizes and widens the root canals to fill
  them up appropriately.
• Sealing follows the procedure to ensure the
  maintenance of the structures and to allow the
  patients to use their natural teeth for a longer
  time. The advantages of the root canal treatment
  can be given as
• Root canal treatment has stopped the need for
  teeth extraction even when the problem could be
  easily solved. Nowadays, it enables scavenging
  the remaining natural teeth and maintain their
  functionality.
• There is no chance of pain as the total treatment
  is done under anesthesia and the procedure can
  save the natural teeth.
• Root canal procedure can permanently stop the
  infection in the teeth and also reduce the
  effects of the several symptoms namely fever,
  mild to severe pain, tenderness around the mouth,
  foul odor from the infection, swelling around
  the tooth or the jaw, and difficulty in movement
  of the jaw or the teeth.

  color, or generate cracks and stains. Root Canal
  treatment provides an artificial crown that can
  be color-matched to give the user a natural
  smile. The crown can also maintain the functions
  of the tooth.

  commonly done procedure when done by the best
  dentist doctor in Jaipur, still, some risk
  exists in the procedure. Although it may depend
  on the clinic, the dentist, and the instruments
  being used, it is better to know about them
  before going forward with the treatment. Let us
  know about them
• 1. Pain
• The patient will not feel any pain during the
  procedure due to the most skilled hands of the
  best root canal dentist in Jaipur in the Nawals
  Dental Clinic. They provide the best quality
  anesthesia for their treatment. However, pain in
  varying degrees can be felt by the patient- it

  Sometimes residual infected pulp left within the
  teeth cavity can give rise to bacterial
  infection, which can also be a reason for the
  sharp pain..

• Undetected Cracks in The Tooth
• Very fine hairline cracks left within the tooth
  after an RCT can enable the bacteria to infect
  the internal material and grow within it. This
  event can give rise to secondary infections,
  inflammation, and pain. So, it would be better
  to consult the doctors of Nawals Dental Clinic,
  the best institution for root canal treatment in
  Jaipur.
• Loss of The Seal/Filling
• Sometimes, the filling put on by the dentist can
  erode after some time. This can lead to cracks
  in it, resulting in bacterial infection. It is,
  therefore, best to heed the suggestions provided
  by the dentist after RCT, so that the filling
  remains as it is and there is no secondary
  infection. However, it is best to consult the
  most proficient dentist if there is any
  indication of root canal infection after an RCT.
• The Cost of The Treatment
• The root canal treatment is usually a little
  costlier than other dental prosthesis inclusion
  procedures and may require the patient to come to
  the doctors chamber multiple times. The cost of
  a root canal treatment in the country may range
  from INR 3000 INR 4000 per tooth. However, the
  cost will depend upon the locality, instruments,
  medicine, and the skill of the dentist. To
  ensure the best treatment for the price paid, it
  is best to contact the Nawals Dental Clinic,
