When is RCT Required?
The most common sign that you need an RCT is severe tooth pain, pain that increases after eating sweets, or eating something hot or cold, and even during the night. But sometimes teeth.
A tooth abscess causes infection in the root which puts pressure on the nerves causing tooth pain. RCT is necessary when there is swelling of the pulp containing soft tissues, blood vessels and nerves. If this infected pulp is not removed, the tooth may have to be removed.
Sometimes a feverish face, pain while chewing or discharge around the tooth are symptoms requiring RCT.
Procedure of Root Canal Treatment
- The first step of an RCT is a clinical examination by a dentist to ascertain the severity of the problem. Apart from this, X-ray imaging helps in visualizing the pulp chamber.
- Local anesthesia is given to numb the affected area.
- The infected pulp chamber and root canal are thoroughly cleaned and shaped.
- This space is filled with a biocompatible material called "gutta-percha" which replaces the tooth pulp.
- The space is properly sealed using a temporary root canal filling.
- Once the root canal crown is constructed, the temporary filling is removed and the crown is placed to restore the tooth.
Common symptoms of Root Canal Treatment
- Swollen Gums – This indicates infection beneath the tooth. There may be a rash on the gums.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold – Toothache occurs when eating or drinking something cold or hot, which indicates infection of the nerves and blood vessels.
- Toothache – The patient may experience a persistent toothache or pain in the face, jaw, or other teeth.
- Cracked or Chipped Tooth – A cracked or broken tooth can expose the tooth's nerves and cause infection in the roots.
- Tooth Discoloration – Due to infection in the pulp, the color of the tooth becomes discolored. Damaged roots turn the tooth brownish black.
Post Treatment care for RCT
- Avoid chewing or biting the treated tooth while it is at first containing the temporary filling.
- Once the temporary filling is replaced with a crown, a restored tooth can remain like a natural tooth.
- After RCT, good oral hygiene is very important. You need to take care of your teeth by brushing, flossing, and using antiseptic mouth wash.
- Make regular appointments with your dentist and/or endodontist for follow-up visits for cleanings and checkups
