Root Canal Treatment

Oral health is something that plays a very important role in the general well-being of an individual. Root canal treatment is one of the procedures that is essential for preserving good dental health. Most people are scared of the idea of undergoing root canal treatment. But a root canal procedure can save a tooth from being removed completely. 

What is root canal treatment?

When the pulp of the tooth, which is the soft tissue, gets infected or inflamed, root canal treatment is required. The damaged pulp can cause a lot of pain. Root canal treatment is performed in order to prevent further decay of the tooth. The basic process involved in root canal treatment is to remove the damaged pulp. The infected part of the tooth is cleaned. Crowns and fillings are used to stop further infection of the tooth.

Common indications that you may need root canal treatment

Severe or continuous pain in the tooth: The pain in your tooth can be continuous or occur on certain occasions. It may extend up to the jaw, face or other teeth.

Sensitivity to heat and cold: Does your tooth hurt when you consume hot or cold food? If the pain persists even after you have consumed the food, you most likely require root canal treatment.

Change in colour of the tooth: If the colour of your tooth changes to grey-black, it is very likely that the pulp of the tooth is infected.

Swelling of the gums: Swollen gums near the infected tooth are another sign that points towards the need for root canal treatment. A small pimple or boil may also form on the gums.

Pain while chewing food: Pain while eating or chewing food indicates that the tooth is inflamed or infected.

Damaged tooth: If a tooth is chipped or cracked, it is quite easy for bacteria to enter, leading to infection and inflammation. This condition could require root canal treatment. 

PROCEDURE:

Root canal treatment is a very simple process. A general misunderstanding is that root canal treatment is a painful process. But it is quite the opposite. Modern innovations and techniques have simplified the procedure over the years, and two visits are sufficient for its completion.

The first step of the process is to take X-rays to assess the degree of infection and inflammation. Then anaesthesia is given in the affected part so that the patient does not experience any pain during the procedure. A small opening is created at the top of the tooth in order to remove the damaged pulp/soft tissue. 

The canals of the tooth are then cleaned to remove residual bacteria. The tooth is filled with a substance called gutta-percha to seal the root canal. A crown or filling is placed on the tooth in order to return the tooth to its earlier functioning capability. Post-procedure pain is common, which can be easily managed using painkillers prescribed by the dentist.

Cost of Root Canal Treatment

The cost of a root canal treatment can vary depending on the extent, severity, and complexity of the case at hand. Additional treatments can add to the cost of the general procedure. Typically, basic root canal treatment starts around ₹5,000–₹7,000 per tooth, while mid-range treatments cost between ₹8,000–₹12,000, depending on the tooth type and technique used.

After-care for root canal treatment

It is important not to chew hard foods immediately after root canal treatment. It is quite normal to experience a certain amount of pain after the procedure. The pain can be countered comfortably with the help of painkillers prescribed by the dentist. Regular follow-up visits are required to monitor the state of the tooth that has been treated. Despite the successful completion of the procedure, it is essential to maintain a good level of oral hygiene by brushing and flossing teeth regularly.

Advantages of root canal treatment

A very common misconception regarding root canal treatment is that it is a very painful process. Thanks to advancements made in contemporary science and medicine, it is a very seamless and painless procedure.

    1. Despite the significant advances made in modern science and medicine, it is very difficult to replicate the functionality of a natural tooth. A root canal procedure prevents the extraction of the infected tooth, thereby preventing the need for an artificial tooth. 

    2. The most significant and obvious advantage of root canal treatment is the complete reduction of pain. The pain caused by the infection and inflammation of the tooth is removed with the help of root canal treatment.

    3. If the infected tooth is not treated in time, the infection may spread to neighbouring teeth. Timely action with the help of root canal treatment prevents further infection of the surrounding areas.

    4. A root canal procedure allows the infected tooth to return to its normal/healthy state so that it can perform all its functions seamlessly without any issues. 

Disadvantages of Root Canal Treatment

There are certain disadvantages associated with root canal treatment. 

    1. Root canal treatment involves the removal of the infected pulp of the tooth. The pulp forms the inner part of the tooth and offers it a structure. Removal of this portion can make the tooth more prone to damage. Hence, a crown is always fitted on the treated tooth to provide greater durability.

    2. While the actual procedure is painless because of the use of a local anesthesia, the patient may face post-treatment pain, which can be controlled with the help of painkillers.

    3. In certain cases, the tooth may get infected again because of the presence of residual bacteria or if the tooth hasn’t been sealed properly. Tooth extraction may be required in such situations.

    4. Although not very common, root canal treatment can lead to damage to neighbouring bone and tissue. There is a possibility of nerve damage if the extent of infection and inflammation is severe.

    5. If the extent of inflammation and infection is quite severe, root canal treatment alone may not be sufficient. Extraction of the infected tooth may be needed.
