When Is Treatment Needed?

Root Canal Treatment or RCT is carried out when a tooth is decayed which creates a cavity or crack due to infection, damage or trauma. Through RCT, the tooth can be saved without removing it. In this process, the pulp (the soft, nervous part inside the tooth) is cleaned, disinfected and filled with an inert material after treatment.

Signs you need Root Canal Treatment:-

1. Severe Pain

Any pain in your mouth is unpleasant and should be mentioned to your dentist, but certain types of pain may signify root canal pain. If you have spontaneous pain that hits you like a wave, it is likely that you have an infected or dead tooth that may need a root canal. When you lay down or bend down is there a pressure on your tooth and face? This may be root canal pain.

2. Bumps on the Gums

If you notice any bumps on your gums, this could be a sign of an infected tooth needing a root canal. These pimple-like bums are known as a fistula.

3. Sensitivity to Hot and Cold

You can have sensitivity to hot and cold without needing a root canal. For those needing a root canal, the sensitivity and pain from the hot and cold lingers long after the drink or food.

4. Swollen Gums

If you've noticed that your gums are swollen it may be a sign of an infected tooth. Sometimes we can have inflamed gums after flossing or brushing too hard, this is different. The swollen gums will be tender and a bit painful to the touch and will remain swollen.

5. Darkening of the Gums

The darkening of the gums is a sign that the gums are decayed. If there is an infection and the tooth is dying, the gums will begin to decay. This is a tell-tale sign that you may need a root canal.

6. Chipped or Cracked Tooth

A chipped or cracked tooth is a two-fold sign of a tooth that may need a root canal. For one, perhaps there was trauma on the tooth that created the chip or crack and has now caused inflamed or infected pulp. Secondly, the tooth may be so far decayed or infected that it is cracked or chipped from being dead. Either way, you'll need likely a root canal to try to save the remainder of the tooth.

7. Tender Gums

If your gums are tender to the touch, or even without touch, you may have root canal pain. When at the dentist, be sure to mention your tender gums.

8. An Abscess

An abscess is something that will be seen on an x-ray as a dark spot. It is basically a hole in the jawbone because bone won't grow around an infection. Your dentist should let you know if you have an abscess in your tooth during your regular dentist appointment and x-rays.

If your dentist has recommended the treatment, here is a step-bystep guide of what you can expect during and after the procedure

Step by step process


1. Firstly, the dentist will examine the infected tooth, and an x-ray is taken, if necessary, to find the infected area.

2. Then, the infected tooth is admistered with anesthesia to numb the surrounding area so that the patient gets relief and comfort during treatment.

3. In the next process, the dentist creates an opening vertically through the tooth to get access to the pulp and nerves.

4. Then, the canals are cleaned and disinfected with the help of special dental instruments and anteseptic solution. In this process, the whole canal is cleaned and all the becteria and other infectious molecules are removed.

5. At last, the opening is filled with a material homogenous to original tooth.

To protect the root canal treated tooth from further damage, a dental crown or cap is placed on the top of it to provide it strength and appearance like a natural tooth. The whole process typically requires one or two visits that can be extented according to complexity of the treatment.

Besides relieving permanently from the severe pain and saving the tooth from extraction, root canal treatment is also more cost effective than removing the tooth and replacing it with dental implant or bridge.

Root canal treatment is highly recommended by the experienced and expert dentists all over the globe and it is a very succesful treatment to save a tooth from extraction and get relief from the unbearable tooth pain for many years without any problems.
