Transform Your Smile with Expert Root Canal Treatment
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a procedure that removes infected pulp or nerves from inside your tooth. Your dentist cleans and seals the canals to prevent further damage and save your tooth. You might need root canal treatment if bacteria reach the pulp and cause pain or inflammation
This can happen if:
- You have a deep cavity, causing food accumulation between your teeth.
- You have spacing leading to food lodgement leading to infection.
Root canals are common. Good oral hygiene can help you avoid needing one.
Most root canals take about two to three visits each ranging between 30 to 45 minutes. Some may require more than 2 or 3 visit, If associated with severe infection or abscess.
How do I know if I need this procedure?
You might not notice an infected teeth at first, but root canal symptoms might include:
- A pimple or boil on your gums that may ooze pus
- A swollen jaw from a trapped infection
- Darkened tooth colour
- Loose tooth from infection weakening nearby bone
- Pain that spreads to your jaw, face or nearby teeth
- Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
- Tender or swollen gums
If you have teeth pain, don’t wait.
Treatment can relieve pain, save your tooth and prevent the infection from spreading. Your dentist can help you decide if it’s the right option for you.
A) What are the benefits of root canal treatment?
Most root canals are successful and can last for many years — often a lifetime. They can:
• Remove infection
• Prevent the infection from spreading or damaging your jawbone
• Save your natural tooth
B) What are the risks or complications of this procedure?
Sometimes, root canals don’t work if the damage is too severe. If that happens, your provider may:
• Re-treat the tooth with another root canal
• Remove the tooth and replace it with an implant or fixed bridge.
C) Do root canals hurt?
Thanks to modern anaesthesia, root canals are usually no more painful than getting a filling. You may feel pressure during the procedure, and mild soreness afterwards. Let your provider know if anything hurts — their goal is to keep you comfortable.
If your tooth hurts more after treatment — especially if the pain throbs — call your provider. You may still have infected pulp that needs attention.
Crowns are often needed after root canal treatment (RCT) for several important reasons :
1. Restoring Tooth Strength :
During root canal treatment, the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth is removed, leaving the tooth hollowed out. This can weaken the structure of the tooth, making it more susceptible to fracture or breakage. A crown is placed over the tooth to provide strength and support, protecting it from further damage.
2. Preventing Fractures :
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are more prone to fractures, especially if they have large fillings or extensive decay. A crown covers the entire tooth, distributing chewing forces evenly and reducing the risk of fractures.
3. Sealing Out Bacteria :
A properly fitted crown seals the tooth, preventing bacteria from re-entering and causing reinfection. This is crucial for maintaining the success of the root canal treatment and preserving the health of the tooth in the long term.
4. Restoring Functionality :
After the best root canal treatment in Gurgaon, the tooth may lose some functionality or stability. A crown restores the tooth’s ability to bite and chew properly, allowing you to eat comfortably and maintain normal oral function.
5. Improving Aesthetics :
In addition to strengthening the tooth, crowns can also improve its appearance. Crowns are customized to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
