Modern day advancements in medicine make it easy for patients and it is well worth the trouble. Here’s why:
Do you need a Root Canal Treatment?
Are your teeth infected? If yes, the pulp around that tooth or teeth might have become inflamed, i.e. blood vessels and nerves, and can this infection can extend to the root canal. And if untreated, this in turn can cause lead to an abscess causing pain in your teeth.
So you got to visit a dentist who will remove the damaged pulp tissues from around your tooth under the influence of a local anaesthetic. This process is called Root Canal Therapy and should be carried out by experienced endodontist.
Does root canal process hurt?
Well, you are not alone. There are millions of people from across the globe who undergo root canal therapy and have similar inhibitions.
But the fact is, root canal treatments are now painless. In fact they help relieve pain in teeth due to cavities and infections. Local anaesthesia applied during the procedure helps it make a painless process, something similar to a tooth filling. However, your dentist may prescribe antibiotics prior to the root canal treatment if there are other complications.
Popular RCT Myths – Demystified
- Only deep decay requires RCT: Ignoring an inflammation or infection in your teeth for long can lead to formation of abscess and further infect the tissues around your teeth. This in turn may cause severe infections that require complete removal of teeth.
- RCT from any clinic is fine: Well, if you have an experienced endodontist, you can go ahead. However, it is important to note that shoddy work may lead to repeated dental procedures and that in turn can hurt your tooth more in the long term.
- Tooth become weak after root canal therapy: In fact your tooth function like any other tooth and you enjoy their increased longevity. Once the infected pulp is removed, the insides of the tooth are completely cleaned and disinfected. The cavity is then filled with a rubber-like endodontic solution like gutta-percha (know more on DiaDent). Then dental crowns or fillings help protect the tooth further.
- Extraction of infected tooth is better than root canal treatment: In fact expert dental professionals from across the world recommend root canal treatment. It is a much better option as you get to enjoy benefits of fortified tooth. Brittleness of the tooth or chipping off too is prevented as the they are now covered with crown or cap. Moreover, they are now as efficient for chewing, for normal biting and also have their natural appearance.
- Once RCT is done, life of tooth is shortened: The fact is, after a good root canal treatment you get back your natural smile and can enjoy all the foods you love. With proper care, you need no special attention by dentists and can carry on with your routine life. And your teeth will often last for a lifetime.
- Root Canal Treatments are expensive: In fact, root canal treatment costs 1/10th of that in the US. Feel free to contact Dr. Amit Berani to discuss your treatments.
