What is a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that eliminates bacteria from the infected root canal.

During an RCT, your dentist will remove all the damaged nerve tissue and disinfects and seals the tooth.

So, it saves the natural tooth & prevents reinfection.

Root Canal Procedure

To complete a root canal treatment, you need 1-2 visits. It is a five-step procedure, as shown below:

1️⃣ Firstly, the endodontist will take your tooth’s X-ray to check the shape and number of canals.

2️⃣ Then, you will receive local anesthesia to numb the surrounding area of the tooth.

3️⃣ Isolation: A rubber sheet is placed around the tooth to isolate & keep it free of saliva.

Stepwise Procedure of Root Canal Treatment

4️⃣ Access opening: The dentist makes an opening into the tooth to enter root canals.

He/she removes the infected pulp and nerve tissue using fine instruments.

5️⃣ After a thorough cleaning with irrigants, filling for sealing of the root canals is done (using sealer paste and a rubber compound called gutta-percha).

Lastly, a temporary material restores the tooth, later replaced with a permanent one.

If a large portion of tooth structure is lost, a dentist may recommend a post and core.

You can return to a dentist for a crown to enhance tooth strength & protect it from further damage.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment Vs. Extraction

When you experience a wincing toothache, the first thought that strikes is getting rid of the tooth.

Nevertheless, extraction can be the last but never the first choice of treatment.

Sometimes, a root canal can do wonders. It alleviates your pain & removes infection while saving your tooth.

Most patients say that root canal treatment is more painless than a tooth extraction.^[22]American Association of Endodontists

Also, with root canals, your recovery phase is more comfortable than with tooth removal.

Tooth extraction follows lengthy appointments for a denture, bridge, or implants adding up to your expenses;

Root canal-treated tooth is generally taken care of by a crown. Thus, giving you a natural smile.

Precautions After Root Canal Abroad

You may feel mild discomfort after the procedure. But if you follow these guidelines, you can minimize unwanted after-effects.

Precautions After Root Canal Treatment
