Tooth decay, trauma or cracks can cause the nerves of teeth to die. When this occurs your tooth can often still be saved with root canal therapy. Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a darkening tooth, are signs that a root canal problem exists. The purpose of root canal therapy is to eliminate tooth pain.
Root Canal Treatment is, in short, a treatment for tooth pain that involves cleaning the tooth and removing the infection which is causing the pain. The cleaned tooth is then protected from further infection by treating them with a solution and inserting fillings. Apex Dental Clinic offers highly cost-effective, painless root canal treatment in India.
During a root canal procedure, the dentist will remove infected blood vessels, tissues and nerves from the tooth, irrigate the hollow to get rid of the contamination and then fill up the pulp of the tooth. The tooth is then shaped so that a crown can be fixed over it. As a result, the tooth is reinforced and looks natural.
You may have some pain, soreness or swelling for a day or two after the procedure. The dentist may decide to prescribe you painkillers and antibiotics to help in recovery. Most people can resume normal routine within 24 hours.
