Are you late in visiting your dentist and your tooth has started aching? Visit Dr. Isha Orthodontic Dental Clinic and Cosmetic Centre now to save your tooth with a painless root canal treatment.
A tooth is a complex structure made up of the hard outermost layer called enamel. Inside this lies dentin which is less mineralized but more elastic than enamel and contains dentinal tubules which transmit the sensation to the soft tissue inside called the pulp. The pulp part of a tooth consists of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues.
When the pulp in your teeth gets infected with bacteria, it starts causing several dental problems such as severe pain while eating food, swollen and tender gums, etc. In such cases, our best dentists remove the decayed portion along with infected pulp and fill it with appropriate material to save the natural tooth. This whole procedure of cleaning infected pulp and saving the tooth is called a Root canal treatment.
Let's understand the importance of removing bacteria in dental pulp, when the pulp is infected with bacteria, it begins to multiply within the pulp chamber. This multiplied bacteria and other decayed debris cause various infections. When the infection spreads all the way down to the roots of the tooth it causes a dental abscess (tooth pus) around the tooth. It can further cause bone loss, excessive swelling around the areas of the face and neck, etc. The patient may experience pain spreading to the brain, neck, and ear. To prevent all these issues having a root canal procedure is important, a regular visit at our best dental clinic can help you keep a check on these infections and offer painless RCT treatment.
Root canal pain
Many people have this misunderstanding that root canal treatments are extremely painful, but the fact is root canals are not painful. Our dentists inject an anaesthetic agent that numbs the area to make the treatment painless for the patient and it feels like a regular dental procedure for the patient. Also, the fear of needle pricks can set the mood apart, but our dentists understand this therefore we provide a painless injection experience. Root canal pain is a problem if the dentist has not cleaned the canals properly or if not able to locate all the root canals. We at Dr. Isha Orthodontic Dental Clinic and Cosmetic Centre give appropriate time and ensure 100% successful RCT treatment to the patient. However, a little post-operative pain is unavoidable, and the patient is prescribed medication, such as pills for toothache, tooth pain tablets, or toothache medicine.
